That's good to see. He may want to change the wording then. It comes off much more of recruiting around the maintainers. I'd be curious what happens if they say no. But so far from what you just posted, the actions seem to speak more charitably than I read it.
The entire thing read to me like a typical venture studio model that will wind up screwing OSS maintainers out of the value they have created. I'd really consider reworking the marketing copy.
I was super disappointed to see it from the CEO of GitLab because generally speaking I love your product and because I think you guys have been THE model for how to properly monetize open core while walking a good line for the open source part.
