My users are not employees but random people contributing to an OS project. There should be a per-project pricing model that the certain situations where that makes sense.

There is. I believe Open Source projects have Golden tier on GL for free and Ultimate on premises. Not sure, you have to check.

edit: just checked:

education: https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/education/

opensource: https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/program/

But these pages are not easy to find, I had to use search. This should be mentioned on the pricing page.

TBH all these features on Gold and Ultimate for free are game changers (specially Gold since you won't need to manage and install so many things that used to be many different systems), GitLab should advertise it more.

Thanks, this is good but it's not for me.

> Your project must not seek to make a profit from the resulting project software

My project is my job, it's OS but I need to profit from it. I don't mind paying, but just per project. I just don't want to pay for the thousands of people on it who's just making spelling corrections.

Nice:

Maybe Gitlab should also stop seeking profit from their project software.

Is Gitlab asking you to give it something for free?

They are practising hypocrisy.

"Open source is great! We heavily rely on open source! We support open source! So let us maybe give you a key that lifts artificial restrictions from our proprietary code. Only if you're open source. Oh and you mustn't do exactly the thing we do: try to make profit with open source."

If I had made something Gitlab needs, they would not need to ask me to give anything for free because that's what I do by default. I don't build artificial scarcity in my stuff.

I assume you have a day job and in the course of your duties, you charge people for your time while working with open source frameworks. Would it be hypocrisy for you to expect a wage while building solutions based on other people's efforts?
