Hi all,

I have a question related to the licensing model.

If I use Ansible for my infrastructure, and I develop additional plugins or modules (from scratch) but importing (obviously) some modules (not only the modules\_utils.\* that is not GPLv3) from the main Ansible codebase, are my code also subject to GPLv3 license?
