Rolf Bjaanes, Gitorious CEO, gives some background on the reasons for the > acquisition: “At Gitorious we saw more and more organizations adopting > GitLab. Due to decreased income from on-premises customers, running the > free Gitorious.org was no longer sustainable. GitLab was solving the same > problem that we were, but was solving it better.” > “This acquisition will accelerate the growth of GitLab.
