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.

@mattiasb @mattdm yeah, didn't the ceo say you can move over any proprietary to open source? Did that change?

That is why Fedora was open to using GitLab.

@sageofredondo @mattiasb @mattdm Where did they do that? Their Gitlab says the license hasn't changed. It's still MIT.

@thaodan @mattiasb @mattdm it was a comment the CEO made in the news years ago.

@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.

about.gitlab.comGitLab is open core, GitHub is closed sourceWe think of ourselves as an open source company. But today paxcoder on Hacker News rightly remarked that calling it an open core company is more accurate.

@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.
