8. Gitlab.com treats people trying to register with hostility if their
ISP uses CGNAT or if they use Tor. Access is inconvenient in some
cases (e.g. GUI users), while access is outright denied to other
users (e.g. terminal users with non-GUI browsers, browsers without
javascript capability, and users who happen to use a high traffic
exit node). ISPs in Serbia and India often use CGNAT for their
lowest tiers of service while charging an extra fee for IPv4 or
IPv6. This means gitlab.com is effectively discriminating against
poor people, Serbians, and Indians.
[FSF criteria C2 & C3][fsfCriteria] is therefore unmet.
1. Gitlab.com refuses service to users who attempt to register with a
