In general yes.
Codebergs base software is forgejo, which is open source, developed by the company behind codeberg. It is generally wanted to deploy your own instance of forgejo to build commercial software.
This is further supported by forgejos current progress to federate git servers with the fediverse standard. This would allow people on codeberg to open issues and pull requests on commercial instances.
I’ve been waiting for that progress to materialise. Although I really want it to work, it has taken so long now that I doubt it is taken seriously and thus I start to doubt they will keep maintaining it once it does land.
For most commercial software you don’t need federation though, so for most you can just spin up your own instance.
Codeberg mentions this: “On Codeberg you can develop your own Free Software projects,…”
Does this imply developing commercial software etc is against their ToS?
Interesting, it does look like there are license restrictions on the faq.

It is taken very seriously. There are still monthly reports, also the usual monthly updates specifically mention federation and stuff that was done that month like federated following of users and HTTP signature validation.
Commercial software can still be free ;) don’t do closed source. License fees are so 1990s…
