I do for every software which forces me to sign things like: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/legal/individual_contributor_license_agreement.md
Thats far away from what I call open source. I also don't want to end with things like: Debian needs feature X but it is already in the e.nterprise version. We make a patch and for commercial reasons it never gets merged (they already sell it in the enterprise version). Which means we will have to fork the software and keep those patches forever. Been there done that. For me, that isn't acceptable. I don't want another Nagios. Alex
