This question is a little bit tricky. Should Debian rely on OpenCore Software? OpenCore means that some Community Edition exists which is OpenSource, but also some "Enterprise" Version with additional Features that are proprietary. 

This software often comes with some kind of Contributor License Agreement (CLA) that usally say something like "You can use my work in proprietary / closed source software. ". As an example see the gitlab contributors agreement.

Choose one of the following answers

Please choose only one of the following:

  • Yes, Open Core is fine Yes, Open Core is fine
  • No, Debian should not rely on software that requires CLA's or has "Enterprise" versions with more features than the "core" No, Debian should not rely on software that requires CLA's or has "Enterprise" versions with more features than the "core"

Make a comment on your choice here:

 

[]Which new features should the new git service have? Please rate from 1 (unimportant) to 5 (I think it is very important to have this). 

Please choose the appropriate response for each item:
