We don't have a lot of incentives to turn down contributions. Quite the opposite. We not only encourage this, we actively help people contributing to GitLab. It's humbling to be a steward to an open source project and something we don't take lightly [0]. And to be blunt, for an organisation as ours, with very ambitious goals, and highly demanding users, having someone else than us contribute something that makes the product better is the best possible deal we could do. We can compensate for the 'lost' value in our enterprise product by spending that time on other things that are maybe more interesting for our paying customers.
