Proprietary license, no source. https://getmeat.io/license https://getmeat.io/license

Not just a proprietary license: a license written by someone who doesn't understand how licenses should be written. IF YOU DO NOT OWN THE SOFTWARE, THEN DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, COPY OR USE THE SOFTWARE. vs You further acknowledge that title and full ownership rights to the Software will remain the exclusive property of BigHit and/or its suppliers, There are all kinds of other bush-league errors and naive contradictions in there. It's a bit embarassing.

  So I can't download the software? Cool, I won't.

  Hi guys, Alexander from Meat! over here. Thanks for expressing your concern, it's totally understandable and we appreciate that. Now, to clear things up: we're a team of 10 and we spent an entire year on developing Meat!, day in, day out. To be honest, the license was our least concern, we just wanted to give you software that wouldn't be just another GitLab clone (hi there GitLab folks!) and we didn't devote the license the attention it required. Sorry about that, we're going to give it a closer look once we get some sleep this weekend. Anyway, if there's enough response from the community for Open Source - then we'll do Meat! Open Source. We've never had any problems with that and we never will. Just let us know. We're going live next week and you'll be able to evaluate the software for yourself. Your feedback will be most welcomed. Cheers, Alex and the Team at Meat!

Why wait? Who cares if there's no community response? It costs you nothing to throw up a repository, and it's free advertising. Maybe you'd even have time to talk to a real attorney about getting a useful license in place. Your potential customers would be able to answer their own questions by looking at the code, and enthusiastic supporters will submit improvements for free. If your service is worth money, it will make money regardless of who can see your source code, but it does not reflect well on your team as a business operation that you were unable or unwilling to properly construct or acquire the single most important document relating to your income.

    You might be excused if your project wasn't intrinsically related to the most popular DVCS in history. Just publish the repo, right now, and hope for the best. Don't forget to include a license file. Can you think of another action you can take right now that would change public opinion of your project more? :) Bonus points for self hosting!

    Hi there Meat folks! Congratulations on the release, it looks really nice. Can you elaborate on the reasons for making something new? Feature wise GitLab CI already has deploy jobs, the only thing I see that is still missing from GitLab are chained builds http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/7233770-chain-builds http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions...

      sytse, our deployment system is completely different from yours - I think the best idea is that you leave your email at our site http://getmeat.io http://getmeat.io and we'll send you an invite next week so you can check it out for yourself. I think that comparing Meat! to GitLab is more like comparing Star Wars to Star Trek (choose whichever you like best) than, say, choosing between the the Lannisters and House Targaryen :) Cheers!

Meat people says: > Do you want Meat! to be open-source? Pleas tell us @getm3at why you think it is important and we will definitely consider your opinion. We want Meat! to be adopted as widely as possible :) https://getmeat.io/license https://getmeat.io/license it look pretty nice!

  badmadrad, if we did it Nigerian style, the address would be written in a much fancier font :)
