For Gitlab, it is not. They're incredibly transparent. I hope other companies will follow the sane trend, but realistically this will probably never happen. In any case, Gitlab's strategy is IMHO a winning one. It's literally embracing the Open Source culture, where you get contributions from people outside your company and help back the community. Good job Gitlab!
