As far as I have heard you can't copyright UX (but don't quote me).

I think the issue is something else: GitLab thinks more features is what will give them competitive advantage over Github in the long term, not clean UX.

Well I'm pretty sure you can copyright UX. Didn't someone get sued from copying Apple's swipe to unlock feature?
