Sorry for the late reply, I didn't really know what to say. As I was involved earlier in the discussion I feel that by not replying, I am agreeing with your message, Victor. However I do not agree at all. I do not recognize myself in your words and I do not think "scamming gitlab" is a point of the discussion. The matter is to know if we are eligible for a program they support, and find the best way to apply in agreement with their terms and our project's view. We are relying quite a lot on gitlab, and I personally think the open source product they provide is great. I thank their team for that.
With this answer, I only wanted to take distance with your words.
