Should also include Gitlab as option to Github. I have no association with them. Just a user of both platforms.

Do they also give discounts to researchers or otherwise show awareness and support of this issue? Might be good to call attention to that fact.

Researcher here: I Use Gitlab because I get everything for no cost as a regular user. With Github I had to pay and get limited features.

[sytse → lgas]

GitLab.com and GitLab CE are free to use. GitLab CE is used by many universities. If you use GitLab EE you don't have to pay for student users.

[ptman → sytse]

GitLab CE in almost any environment with more than one team (say uni course with many groups doing projects) would need ldap group sync.

[sytse → ptman]

The vast majority of universities that use GitLab use CE that has LDAP login but no sync.
