The reality is unfortunately considerably more complicated:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/raw/master/LICENSE

As Julian indicated, that is not the case.

Technically, we would presumably not own the data any more than we
currently do. As for the code, we also would not own it technically, and
if GitLab EE is used, the ASF would not even have an open license to all
of it.
Not all groups hosted on gitlab.com can be fully migrated to a
self-hosted GitLab CE instance without complication.

Hum, if there was a conclusion to this thread, I am afraid I for one
missed it.

I wonder which other threads you refer to, but if you are saying that
you consider this thread as “resolved”, I do not see this thread as a
problem, but I don't see anything which could be considered a
“resolution”. I am using Apache Pony Mail to browse and see 15 mails
predating mine in this thread, all from February 2019.
By the way, your latest reply (the one I am replying to) is showing
twice in the web archives. I have little experience with
https://lists.apache.org, but I have not noticed any bug causing that
for other mails so far. I only received it once in my mailbox.
