What about having a single product, and charging for a proprietary license + support? This may work better with GPL as many large orgs are allergic to it.

With MIT license, many sites probably just implement the branding changes etc in the CE product on their own.

We want to give large orgs the option to run GitLab without having to pay us. We don't mind having people add features to CE, these are the same people that will send enahancements upstream and make GitLab better for everyone.
