It's an important distinction, yes. And I don't think the question of whether Buildbot and Hydra are "SaaSS too" is important for our purposes. The important question is whether we can run them for ourselves. Somewhere, I'm sure some company (or several ones) provide them as paid services. > The GitLab software is not SaaSS, because it's not a service. > It is a program.

Naturally. > To use a commercial service for this would be SaaSS, even > if it is running _the exact same program_ We can call it SaaS, which is the industry-standard term. To use the disparaging variation, against a well-behaving company that distributes a fully-functional version of said software with a Free license, I wouldn't consider fair. > SaaSS is not a question of which programs are running on the server. > We can't verify which programs are running on anyone else's server. > We can't change them either, even if they are free software. That's also true, for many users, of the GNU hosted installation of Hydra. And it will remain true, for most Emacs developers and users, of the GitLab installation on the FSF premises, when it's set up. And yet, I wouldn't be comfortable calling them SaaSS. > Please see https://gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html > for an explanation of the SaaSS issue.

We are only using the GitLab service to evaluate the features of GitLab the program. Like already mentioned, by the way, the contents of .gitlab-ci.yml, which is proposed for adding into the Emacs repository, are not going to change after that transition.
