Doesn't this go against one of the main principles in the open source definition? that is no discrimination against fields of endeavour.

    Nope! You just made that up! Open source is when the source is openly available. If you were thinking of the free software movement, you're still wrong! I hope that's helpful.

    Point 6

    The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

    No, its a terms of use for what goes on their servers. Every open source project has that.

    You are free to take Forgejo, their open source forge software, and run it on your own computer without any restrictions based on the free software license.
