Discussion
Every couple of months, a couple of us come together to write down what we've been working on behind the scenes. The last time we did that was June. There are many exciting things (for us, at least!) that have happened since; you can read all about them in the update that we are sharing with you today:

This requirement is not new and was already there before, because no FSF/OSI allowed license disallows commercial usage of content.
What did change is that the following kinds of work can be licensed to disallow commercial use:
> As an exception to this requirement, works which primarily describe the personal opinions or experiences of the author, or which embody the unique personal creative spirit of the author, may be included in public repositories under a copyright licence which does not allow modification and/or commercial use, such as a Creative Commons licence with NC or ND restrictions

@Codeberg I just now was made aware of the ToS changes thanks to the blog post, and I must say that I'm opossed to §2 (1) 1.
The way it is written makes it seem like that we need to allow people to commercially use the content, even if we don't want that (And that licenses prohibiting that may not be acceptable by these terms).
Of course I may misunderstand this now, but this just shows how vague the writing is, to allow such misunderstanding in the first place.
