  That Debian is using GitLab. They have for some time.

    Hmmm, how does the change to BSL affect Debian's infrastructure?
    - benatkin 3y ago
      I don't think Debian uses Terraform much, if at all, but if they do, I think they would start to phase it out. As for GitLab, it isn't changing to BSL, so they can keep using it.

        What's the point that what Debian developers use? Historically, Linux developers used proprietary BitKeeper.

        And they stopped when a change in licensing and license enforcement made such use unworkable?

Over/under on GitLab going BSL?

  GitLab will never go BSL. It has zero reason to. Its enterprise offerings are already under a proprietary license.

      >I can think of a few: Think of a few what? You listed a bunch of links to GitLab CE, which is not their enterprise offering, does not compete with their enterprise offering, and has an order of magnitude less functionality and no support. Again, their enterprise offering is already under a proprietary license. GitLab openly supports anyone deploying and managing GitLab CE: https://hub.docker.com/r/gitlab/gitlab-ce https://hub.docker.com/r/gitlab/gitlab-ce Not sure what you're alluding to?
