Same here, I'd be interested to hear why you're moving in that direction.

I heard great things about Ansible and would love to try it, but in some of the environments I work in, using GPL software (especially v3) is not possible (in other environments it is perfectly fine).

Because I'd like to use the same system in all environments I work in, and because I strongly prefer a Python-based system, I'll probably go with Salt.

If there were a different licensing option than GPL, I'd look into Ansible first, based on all the comments I read about it so far.



Could you give a few details on why gpl software is not acceptable in those environments?

I understand the part about GPL libraries forcing it on linked applications. However, not sure why it matters regarding stand-alone apps.
