Would it? E.g. Codeberg is gemeinnützige (for the public benefit) are there any examples of a Verein being denied gemeinnützigkeit based on the fact that open source development is not a recognized Ehrenamt?

i suppose it depends on how they fund themselves. for example, i have a project that i am funding myself entirely with commercial activity. would be nice if i could make tax free donations to myself for the time i work on the project.
