-What's wrong with GitHub?
---------------------------
-
--   GitHub itself is proprietary software (for
-    [business](http://tom.preston-werner.com/2011/11/22/open-source-everything.html))
--   GitHub serves non-free JavaScript code to its users
--   Tim (GitHub CEO) really likes to talk about freedom, but makes the
-    following claims about the GPLv2/3:
-
-> ...The GPL is not focused on freedom. It's too long. Too many
-> restrictions. -- Tom Preston-Werner OSCON2013
-
-or how about:
-
-> Notice that everything we keep closed has specific business value that
-> could be compromised by giving it away to our competitors. -- source:
-> Tom Preston-Werner's

-
-GitHub simply uses Free Software for its own benefit, releasing source
-code under a free license only when suited to it's business goals; they
-are quite happy to violate the rights of their users, for profit.
-
-By contrast, the libreboot project adheres strictly to the goals of the
-Free Software movement, which seeks to eliminate proprietary software to
-the point where all software is free.
-
-The opinions expressed by Tom Preston-Werner of GitHub are incompatible
-with those of the libreboot project. Users and developers of *[free
-software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software)* are strongly
-advised not to use GitHub, for any of their projects.

-What's wrong with GitLab?
---------------------------
-
--   GitLab itself is proprietary software. There is a *community
-    edition* but this is only used as a source of cheap labour for
-    GitLab to prop up its proprietary version, which it sells for
-    profit. In fact, the [Enterprise Edition used to be Free software,
-    until early
-    2014](https://web.archive.org/web/20141215225437/https://about.gitlab.com/2014/02/11/gitlab-ee-license-change/).
-    What else will they make proprietary? Perhaps one day they will drop
-    the community edition?
--   GitLab requires a
-    [CLA](https://web.archive.org/web/20150405153359/https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commits/master/doc/legal/individual_contributor_license_agreement.md)
-    for all contributions to the community edition.
-    What this means is that they want you to use their permissive
-    (non-copyleft) license, so that they can make your work proprietary
-    as part of the enterprise edition.
--   The GitLab CEO (Sytse Sijbrandij) really likes to talk about
-    freedom, but in reality that person's opinion is the same as the
-    [GitHub](github.md) CEO.
--   Monopolistic practises. For instance, GitLab bought
-    [Gitorious](https://web.archive.org/web/20150905091808/https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitorious/)
-    just to asset strip it. Gitorious was the go-to Git hosting provider for
-    Free Software developers, and Gitorious was released under AGPLv3 which
-    meant that it truly safeguarded user freedom. GitLab killed it.

-GitLab simply uses Free Software for its own benefit, releasing source code
-under a free license only when suited to its business goals; they are quite
-happy to violate the rights of their users, for profit.

-By contrast, the libreboot project adheres strictly to the goals of the Free
