  I've installed most of them (except Allura) for clients/developers or
my own people, and I can assert Gitlab is currently the most
accomplished and well maintained project in the "light forge" style (or
"à la Github" if you prefer).

  Alhtough Gitlab-the-company sells proprietary extensions, CE really is
free, but I did not check thoroughly
(https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/ says "MIT Expat license").

  And the proprietary extensions does not very useful for a public forge
(see https://about.gitlab.com/features/#compare).


  I've also worked regularly with Rhodecode the last 3 years for a large
client. This was a really nice one-man project, with a nice guy. And
then he has been swallowed by an entrepreunarial geek which built in a
year a 50 people company around a 20k-python-line project and it all
went beserk. Kallithea is a very sane fork, but it does not have the
original developer and the same momentum - but I dit not followed it
closely (my client leaned towards the dark forces of proprietary
Rhodecode and pays it _dearly_, in cash and troubles).

  See you !
