We should only use FOSS tools. Having our users go to non-free services or tools is a bug so we can't use Gitlab for issues until we determine it Respects Your Freedom.
Acceptance Criteria for closing this bug:
Conclusion:
Gitlab is free software
More discussion on this topic upstream: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/51287
NB: This thread ^^ is about Gitlab Community Edition.
Note that FSF give GitLab a C-grade "Acceptable hosting for a GNU package", noting "All JavaScript code served to the client is free, but does not work with LibreJS enabled."
See https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria-evaluation.html#GitLab
Thank you David. I'm going to take the C as a passing grade and close this tracker item concluding that Gitlab CE is sufficiently free for our purposes.
