No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

For starters, read licensing from codeberg (including their licensing page that is linked from there. Granted youre not choosing the licenses but there is good info to learn there.
Now codeberg wants free licensing. A good rule of thumb is if it's an Open Source Initiative (OSI) license then it's good. For a list of OSI licenses you can check out their page.
There may be other free and open source licenses that people use but if you know nothing about licensing then stick with the OSI ones until you get your feet wet.
You'll also want to make sure that whatever project you're using isn't using dual licensing with non-free parts. If it looks like they have multiple licenses described in their README.md or LICENSE then as a beginner i would just run away as those can be complex and you may not be able to put that code on codeberg
HOWEVER, my advice as someone who uses codeberg as my main forge is this:
My rationale is that part of the open source mentality is being able to give back your code contributions. Putting your code on another forge will make it so you're not able to do that unless you later add a different git remote to your fork on that forge and then merge (im ignoring the rare unicorn projects that accept contributions via email). That isn't hard to do but it's extra steps. If you fork a github project on github then you can still have a local copy in your PC and if the original policy is removed/nuked/relicensed/etc then you could dig into the licensing and see if you can put your local copy on codeberg.
So you advise me to store it in my local system until l'm sure about its license and the policy of codeberg on that license ??
