Gitlab's Open Source program actually seems prety good: https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/join/ https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/join/ They offer everything in Ultimate, including 50k hosted CI minutes, and the requirements seems reasonable (basically, everything needs to be public, have an open-source license, and you can't profit from add-ons or services). The drawback is that it looks like you have to apply for it to use it.

Neat, I only wish their pricing for commercial was more reasonable. The bundling they do makes it a complete non-starter for people or companies who don't use the CI/CD, for example.

Next to using GitLab.com SaaS, Open Source Program members can also choose to self-manage their GitLab instance -- like Arch Linux. > The drawback is that it looks like you have to apply for it to use it.

  FYI, the "Learn More Link" on [1] results in a 404. It links to [2] update: ahh I see there is a "migration" popup on the 404 page.

Another unfortunate thing of their Open Source Program is that companies that make open-source (MIT, GPL) and have a commercial offering as well (eg: GitLab themselves) are not allowed to use their Open Source Program.

  Seems reasonable enough though.

  Well, yeah. The point is to give free access to free projects that don't make money because they don't make money and can't pay for Enterprise. If you have a commercial offering, you can probably afford to pay for your tools.
