Oh wow, hmm. So, for everyone's reference, there's been lots of discussion on this at
http://lists.mediagoblin.org/listinfo/userops and #userops on freenode and related to http://freepo.st/ and #freepost on freenode There's already a site made by some people dedicated 100% to free software. It's https://notabug.org/ and it uses Gogs (MIT licensed) with plan to fork to AGPL if substantial changes are made or are necessary if Gogs goes in a direction we don't like. They started that site coincidentally about a week before the Gitorious announcement. There's also discussion about supporting and hosting Kallithea, which is GPL and a Software Freedom Conservancy project. There may be value in a GitLab fork, but I'm not sure it's the way to go (not sure either way). The NotABug folks claim to have considered GitLab and decided that it wasn't going to scale as well as Gogs and had too much reference to proprietary stuff in the design (I guess they mean third-party login and other stuff like that) which would be extra work to deal with. FWIW, I agree with the view someone else presented that GitLab would itself be more acceptable if it had a distinct site / name for the community project vs the proprietary enterprise edition. As long as the community edition is presented as the lesser version of a single freemium product, we can't really endorse it as is, although I will keep saying that their efforts to participate and listen to our concerns are very notable and distinct from what we experience from most projects that otherwise aren't 100% dedicated free software projects. I could imagine GitLab at least recognizing the value of maintaining a friendly relationship of sorts to our community and avoiding antagonism. Anyway, GitBull is interesting… I do really want to see collaboration among everyone about how to best handle this situation overall.
