I've been very wary of Gitea since Gitea Cloud and CommitGo, Inc. became a thing. One commercial entity (Gitea Ltd.) is one thing (although the trademark fiasco around that was a bad look on its own [0]), but when a second for-profit quietly spun up around the same open source project with little explanation I got a bit sketched out and have been cautiously using Forgejo instead (it has its own problems I won't get into here).
That said, I'd like to see more information before we jump on the outrage bandwagon. The only thing we have here is a PR that was blocked by a maintainer who's not very communicative and the speculation of a random participant in the PR discussion that they're intentionally blocking the merge because of a conflict of interest with the enterprise version. That's not a lot to go on, and there are other possible explanations besides malfeasance.
