FWIW, Gitlab would prefer an IPO and they say they are on track for it.

Everyone says they’d prefer an IPO but a lot of them change their minds when a man puts a $7.5 billion check on the table.

Gitlab isn’t going to say no to $7.5B or any number close to that. They are also more venture backed compared to GitHub.
