Hello Great People

I have a use case where I am using Ansible (only command line, no Ansible tower or AWX) for configuration management for infrastructure.  
This infrastructure I am using for a commercial software that would fetch money to my organization.

Under GPL V3 license, is my organization liable to share any code or pay any royalty?

Let me repeat, using ansible CLI and playbooks, to manage infra configs, that hosts a commercial application.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards  
Manish Sharma

The 'community' should not give you legal advice (clearly most won't),  
you need to consult a lawyer.
