license issues for ansible contribution.

I have a PR towards upstream ansible that is failing because of lib/ansible/modules/web_infrastructure/jenkins_node.py:0:0: missing-gplv3-license: GPLv3 license header not found in the first 20 lines of the module

I have a licenced my code under BSD.2 . I was wondering if I can ignore the gplv3.

All modules shipped within Ansible must adhere to GPLv3+.

However, we are basically not accepting any new modules at this time, and new modules would need to be submitted to a collection repo instead. See https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/blob/master/README.rst for more information.

However, any collection that we own will still adhere to the requirement that modules must be GPLv3+.

But you are free to create your own collection, and ship this module independently, using different licensing.

Thanks @Matt for the response. I heard about the change, I did not understand how it would have translated to my PR ( https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/67593 ). Should I abandon it or someone from community would make that call for the PR?
