Choose a (software) license for customers-gitlab-com
Problem
The license this code is under isn't clear, i.e., this file doesn't exist right now: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/customers-gitlab-com/-/blob/LICENSE . We also lack a https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/customers-gitlab-com/-/blob/CONTRIBUTING.md
Proposal
With no license specified, the default is "all rights reserved". If this is the case, it would be good to make it explicit. Better (from my perspective) would be to release this code under a FOSS license.
Result
In line with "everyone can contribute", a license + contributing.md for this part of the GitLab.com experience would enable community contributions.
It would also clarify the situation for anyone seeking to set up a competing SaaS GitLab service, since they'd be likely to want to use (something like) this alongside the main gitlab package, which is a hypothetical situation I'm leaning on in a conversation about dotcom-only code: https://gitlab.slack.com/archives/CJHPLRTRD/p1589923514173900 (internal link)
Next steps (if any)
