My employer uses gitlab for most internal projects because of ITAR and other legal restrictions (aerospace). No external hosted services allowed, except obviously for released open source code.
- skrebbel 7y agoWait, the rule says everything must be locally hosted, except if it's open source - then cloud hosted saas is fine? Can you explain the rationale?
- jakeinspace 7y agoIf it's open source then necessarily it's been approved by export control. Anything open-sourced obviously can't contain ballistic information which would violate ITAR. But by default, all internal software and documents/documentation related to spacecraft/aircraft are assumed to be sensitive until they've gone through the export control process.
