They've been selling GitLab Enterprise Edition for quite a while. Were you concerned that this wasn't enough of a revenue stream? https://about.gitlab.com/gitl

  Recurring > one time revenue. EDIT: My knowledge of their pricing is inaccurate. I thought EE was one-time on-prem charge.

    GLE is also recurring ($199 / user / year). But more is better.

    Gitlab EE isn't even close to one time, did you even look at their pricing model before replying?

  Given how fast their free tier was growing, yes. They're in no holds barred exponential growth territory and I don't know the ratio of corporate customers:free customers but I suspect that the free tier is growing faster. So they really need more sources of income, and preferably b2b ones. Companies like gitlab become mission critical for the customers that depend on them (one reason why github (not gitlab) is now in the 'too big to fail' category, if they were to go under there would have to be a rescue operation of sorts). Gitlab has a narrow base and broadening that base is really good.
