As AI and cloud computing fuel acquisitions in the technology sector, these mergers and acquisitions are increasingly under review.

      I can’t think of a single reason that wouldn’t happen.

      There would be no other incentive for companies to buy it.

      A company might want to extend it’s service offering with a build pipeline/CICD system, and buying GitLab would get them the best-in-class service.

      Microsoft bought GitHub for much of the same reasons, and GitHub didn’t went to hell after the acquisition.

          https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement#private-repositories-github-access

          ? Nothing about such private repo access listed there.

          Every open source license grants permission for AI training, and GitHub copilot by default rejects completions that exactly match code from its training. You can’t pretend to be pro-open source or pro-free software but at the same time be upset that people are using licensed software within its license terms.

            If you use agplv3 for training your LLC, shouldn’t the code you spit out also be agplv3?

              Only if you can reasonably argue that the output is the input (even with exact matches over a certain size being auto-rejected), and that it is enough to qualify as a copyrightable work. I’d argue line completions can never be enough to be copyrightable, and even a short function barely meets the bar unless it is considered creative in some way.

              If a license forbids LLM training, it is by definition not open source.

                  Incorrect. Open source means using a license that conforms to the open source definition. You can find that here: https://opensource.org/osd

        So many errors in what you’ve written aren’t with the fact that one can INSTALL a copy of gitlab and get the CI/CD features, but actually with simple English.
