How hard would it be for GNU to maintain a fork of that instead of maintaining their own codebase?
>GitLab doesn't discourage bad licensing practices
If they host it, they can discourage whatever they want
- ramshorns 10y agoGood point. I was confusing GitLab.com the hosting service with GitLab CE the server software, which they could run an instance of.
- dispose13432 10y agoGitlab.com is gitlab EE or CE?
- jobvandervoort 10y agoGitLab.com runs GitLab EE
- pawadu 10y agoyeah, their complaints against gitlab seems like nitpicking. If the gitlab people could fix these minor issues and receive the blessing of RMS I think they could get some exposure outside their usual market. (whether that gets them more paying costumers is a whole different discussion)
- jobvandervoort 10y ago> If the gitlab people could fix these minor issues Sorry, dropping in here while working on our release of today. Could you clarify what issues? We're always excited to help projects move to GitLab.
- pawadu 10y agoFrom the GNU website: --- Things that prevent GitLab from moving up to the next grade, B: All JavaScript code served to the client is free, but does not work with LibreJS enabled. (B0) Encourages bad licensing practice, including no license; failure to state the license on each source file; and failure to say which GPL versions apply. (B2) --- I think at least B2 is a reasonable request, although this may have already been fixed (sorry, I use gitlab but barely visit the site itself).
