GitLab CE is free software.  GitLab EE is not, but all of the JavaScript
served to the browser is.[0]

But their CI services are SaaSS.[1]  If all builds took place on servers
that Guile developers control---like the current Hydra servers---then
this wouldn't be a problem.

The GNU Project has criteria for hosts that it considers to be
acceptable for hosting GNU software.[2]  GitLab is an acceptable host
under those criteria, but one of the criteria---A5---requires that the
host not recommend SaaSS.  Unfortunately, GitLab won't ever be able to
meet that.  It's okay to use GitLab to host repositories, but not for
SaaSS.
