What do you mean with everything except GitLab CE? We have EE options that are also closed source but for example GitLab Runner https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner is open source. I'm open to changing it to GitLab Inc. in the blog post. Where would you like to see that? I think the feedback on HN has been largely positive, for example see most of the top comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12128546 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12128546 In that comment section people rightly called us out for calling ourselves an open source company, hence this blog post. On of the most widely known Free-with-a-capital-F alternatives to GitHub was Gitorious. They couldn't make the business model work and had to sell the company or close it. We ended up acquiring them for the name recognition https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitorious/ https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitoriou... It is very hard to make 100% open source work. We tried donations, consulting, and paid feature development but neither worked. That is why we introduced the Enterprise Edition. Since we introduced that we've been able to make the open source edition a lot better. GitLab CE is Free-with-a-capital-F but if you prefer to use something that doesn't also have a proprietary edition consider using Gogs. Because of our Enterprise Edition income we're paying the only full time developer on Gogs.
