Puppet switches GPL license to Apache

Here's what they say on the Puppet blog about this: <a href="http://www.puppetlabs.com/blog/relicensing-puppet-to-apache-2-0/" rel="nofollow">http://www.puppetlabs.com/blog/relicensing-puppet-to-apache-...</a>

This is probably a good thing for Puppet. If the want to drive adoption of their software in the enterprise, it's better to switch to a more permissive license than the somewhat Idealistic GPL. It will make corporate legal departments more comfortable with the idea of using Puppet.

What a crappy article. The author clearly didn't do the homework - and instead resorts to a bunch of conjectures.

I am amazed that something as far reaching as a license change is based on "I heard this, I heard that" logic.

you should work on your about page. Do a five minute usability test and ask five random people what puppet does. Hint: The only clue is hidden in the book ad at the very end of the page.

I keep wanting to try Puppet, but they have <i>very</i> effectively hidden the OSS version. Where the hell is it?
