What's to prevent GitLab from doing what Phabricator has once enough companies have committed to it?
In principle, nothing. However, in general GitLab-the-company seems significantly more devoted to the idea of GitLab as an open-source project than Phacility was to Phabricator. In truth, Phabricator was never really an healthy FOSS project. Yes, the source was available but the maintainers were quite clear that they have no intention of accepting unsolicited patches. GitLab, on the other hand, encourages external contributors, has actively supported adoption by open source projects and has an active set of maintainers. Cheers, - Ben
