+			<h2>What's wrong with Gitorious?</h2>
+				<ul>
+					<li>
+						They have <a href="https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitorious/">completely sold us out</a>
+						to a company who's main business model is proprietary software.
+					</li>
+					<li>
+						Gitorious is now owned by GitLab. GitLab is essentially the same as GitHub; there is a 
+						free (libre) version of GitLab, but this is bait-and-switch for their so-called <i>enterprise</i>
+						version which is proprietary software.
+					</li>
+					<li>
+						The GitLab site itself also runs on a proprietary version of GitLab. GitLab has the same
+						<a href="http://tom.preston-werner.com/2011/11/22/open-source-everything.html">rotten attitude</a>
+						as GitHub when it comes to free software.
+					</li>
+					<li>
+						GitLab is permissively licensed, which means that it completely lacks copyleft.
+						Anyone (including the main GitLab upstream) can re-release a proprietary version 
+						and completely refuse to give out source code.
+					</li>
+				</ul>
+
+			<p>
+				Gitorious now simply uses Free Software for its own benefit, releasing source code under a free license
+				only when suited to it's business goals; they are quite happy to violate the rights of their users, for profit
+				(since they are now part of GitLab, which has been doing so for quite some time).
+			</p>
+				
+			<p>
+				By contrast, the <?php echo $lbProjectName; ?> project adheres strictly to the goals of the Free Software movement, which
+				seeks to eliminate proprietary software to the point where all software is free.
+			</p>
+
+			<p>
+				The proprietary developments in GitLab are unacceptable to
+				the <?php echo $lbProjectName; ?> project. Users and developers of 
+				<em><a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a></em>
+				are strongly advised not to use GitLab or Gitorious, for any of their projects.
