- sytse 10y agoI'm considering this blog post https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/blog-posts/issues/226 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/blog-posts/issues/226 to set the record straight, what do you think?

- quadrangle 10y agoAnd 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
- sytse 10y agoThanks quadrangle for your supportive comment! After reading part of the book 'domain driven design' I'm very keen on ensuring all wording is unambiguous, and the suggestion to call it open core was spot on. I added the open core business model to https://about.gitlab.com/about/#stewardship https://about.gitlab.com/about/#stewardship too in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/commit/f81934f7c596632856495c30fb975698ce0bfd73 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/commit/f81934f7...
