The cost of most commodities varies by location. This includes Coke. It is called price discrimination.

The whole reason DVDs had regions was to price the same DVD differently based on location. As long as companies can, they will price and pay different amounts for the same thing based on local factors.

But price discrimination by region doesn't fit great with boasting about "leadership". Say what you want about the MPAA (and RIAA), but who would buy them crowing about anything like "leading the free global market for media"? Leading the world in exploiting the free market, sure.

So, you were saying that's the kind of "leadership" Gitlab is boasting about, or...?
