What's the "governance" failure? Though I don't use it, GitLab struck me as one of the darlings of how to run an open source company (I love all their public docs), but maybe I'm missing something?
- RobotToaster 4y agoGitlab is "open-core", not open source.
- andrewshadura 4y agoOpen core is a monetisation model, open source is licensing. GitLab is both open core and open source.
- mort96 4y agoDue to the open core monetisation model, a whole lot of GitLab is not open source; "GitLab" can't be said to be open-source, just parts of it. The monetisation model affects the licensing model.
- Lyngbakr 4y agoPerhaps they're not referring to a governance failure as such, but rather contrasting a not-for-profit, community-led organisation with a publically-traded, for-profit business? <shrug>
