And this is why GitLab stands out among all others. There's the no-compromises hardcore folks (more power to them/us!), and then there's the obnoxious whatever-for-business folks who don't care about community or ethics or feedback really. GitLab is amazing in just actually listening. Look at this, they went and took the suggestion and care more about honesty and transparency than in the short-term short-sighted impact of insisting their initial wording was right… this is typical of this company that really does listen. Bravo
I'm interested to hear your reasoning around this if you get a moment. I think ts very clearly an open source product - all the installers regardless of what 'edition' you choose to deploy are available without any paywall or login via their yum / apt repos, all the code is within them and open to contribute to and inspect.
