This is a bit offtopic: (OP here) the reason why I was even reading Atlassian's terms is to understand what kind of language is used in enterprise self-hosted software because I need one for my own product. I really like GitLab's open core model (as long as the core is still perfectly usable), and I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about it as I'm looking to adopt something very similar? Could I contact you over email about this?

One of my customers even raised the issue with them, saying it would cause harm to the company if it came to be known, but they dodgeball’ed it with legal.
Basicaly GitLab is a competitor to GitHub.
Atlassian allways wanted to compete with those but will never succeed.
Just like they had to admit that HipChat and Stride are worse than Slack and they'd never get to the point that someone would want to use their chat tools, they will have to admit that Bitbucket + Bamboo will never be able to compete with GitLab or GitHub.
In my opinion the only really good things are Jira and Confluence.
There is no standalone tool that does the Jira stuff as good as they do.
There has never been an enterprise wiki which was so usable and consistent like confluence. Even if I have many paintpoints with it, I don't know something better for a wiki solution that has to be used by everyone from management to development (dev's cry the most about it).
There’s actually a lot of enterprise wiki software out there that is comparable or better. One example from a previous job: http://twiki.org
