Why it's listed

SourceHut is listed in git hosting & ci because it competes on utility: no-js-required software forge, 100% free software. It's built by an independent, bootstrapped team — no growth-at-all-costs pressure, no ad-tax passed to you. Licensed AGPL-3.0; pricing: pay-what-committed, public. Technically it's lean — it runs comfortably on modest hardware, which is exactly the proof-of-work efficiency we rank for. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
