Maybe Gitlab should also stop seeking profit from their project software.
- scoopertrooper 7y agoIs Gitlab asking you to give it something for free?
- clarry 7y agoThey are practising hypocrisy. "Open source is great! We heavily rely on open source! We support open source! So let us maybe give you a key that lifts artificial restrictions from our proprietary code. Only if you're open source. Oh and you mustn't do exactly the thing we do: try to make profit with open source." If I had made something Gitlab needs, they would not need to ask me to give anything for free because that's what I do by default. I don't build artificial scarcity in my stuff.
- scoopertrooper 7y agoI assume you have a day job and in the course of your duties, you charge people for your time while working with open source frameworks. Would it be hypocrisy for you to expect a wage while building solutions based on other people's efforts?
