I think a better fit (for any measure of better you might like) might be Redhat / IBM.

IBM can sell it to customers as an Enterprise package with Enterprise support, and Redhat can host their own OSS software there on their own turf.

Red Hat uses Gitlab for CentOS Stream development (https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream). However $8bn is a lot of money for what is basically a loss-making cost center. (I know it made a small profit recently, but Gitlab has lost money for a very very long time.)

Agreed, similarly to what they're doing with Hashicorp (though way to early to say if it works out for both sides in the end)
