Gitlab's source-available proprietary model for "open core" is _worse_ than keeping that code secret, because it serves to poison community implementation of similar features.
@mattdm Did they change license?
@sageofredondo @mattiasb @mattdm Where did they do that? Their Gitlab says the license hasn't changed. It's still MIT.
@sageofredondo @thaodan @mattiasb @mattdm Do you have a link to that statement? It's not clear what you mean...
GitLab is Open Core, and as far as I know it always has been. In their words, "GitLab CE .. is open source and GitLab EE .. is closed source" The EE product has a lot of essential security features, and they are not open to community contributions that would add them to CE.

@gordonmessmer @thaodan @mattiasb @mattdm trying to find. I knew I would be asked about this.

As I understand it, they did open some features at GNOME's request — but it's certainly not everything.
