No worries, what about the main point of my 1st message? That we don't 
fit at all with their terms when looking at our roles list no matter how 
we define maintainers.

> but I will say that everyone (myself included) has just been genuinely trying to interpret Gitlab's policy and how it applies to Koha; no one is trying to mislead anyone. The Koha community is the most good natured group of people that I've ever known in my entire life.

Sorry that I have made many people uncomfortable.

When I said «In practice we would be trying to scam GitLab.com» it was 
in «You don't realize it but it's misleading». Not «You are consciously 
and malevolently thinking to mislead them»

Ultimately, we can speculate one way or another all we want, but it's up to Gitlab to say whether or not we fit, and I think that you can rest assured that we'll be open and honest with whatever information that they want to support their decision-making.

Bringing up HLT or Koha Community as non profit organization to be able 
to tick the box
«project maintainers are not seeking to make profit from this project by 
for example, selling services [...]» didn't look like
«you can rest assured that we'll be open and honest with whatever 
information that they want to support their decision-making»

Instead I though we gotta be upfront with ourselves if we were going 
that way which seemed misleading to me. (to bend so much things so they 
fit) And that we needed to find reasons to be morally ok with that.

Cheers,
