Instead of offering a free EE license I think the better thing to do is to open source features in EE that are deemed essential. So if you run a significant open source project and are considering switching to self hosted GitLab please let us know what EE features are blocking you (if any). This will allow us to open source them.
systse, I have nothing of value to add to this topic but as usual I want to thank you guys for the work you do. Gitlab may not be perfect but it's heartwarming to see an awesome open source project being supported like this and it's always really nice to see companies thrive on FOSS-first models.
