Thanks for asking ksec. GitLab has an open core model. The open source GitLab Community Edition has an MIT license. GitLab Enterprise Edition contains extra features and you have to get a subscription to use it. The most common subscription costs $50 per user per year. You can find more about the feature difference on https://about.gitlab.com/features/#compare https://about.gitlab.com/features/#compare We think that repository hosting will be like email hosting. Most people will have an account for free with only forum support (similar to gmail and outlook.com). For the next few years we expect the on-premises subscriptions to bring in more than enough money to pay for hosting. Because code hosting is a central hub for many services we think that long term revenue model will be a marketplace for additional services. Please let me know if you have any questions.
