GitLab doesn't have "spyware" as you claim it does - it's trackers on their marketing page.
The fact you'd make such a claim while promoting your own competing software just doesn't come off as constructive.
- MereInterest 6y agoThis is a tangential conversation, as I agree that the SourceHut promotion is off-topic, but I don't see a distinction between "spyware" and "trackers on their marketing page". I would define "spyware" as programs that (1) run on an end user's computer, (2) report information back to the developer of the program, and (3) include information not necessary to the running of that service. Marketing trackers do all of those, so I think it is perfectly justifiable to refer to them as "spyware".
