Hi,

I'm no licensing expert but just wanted to point out that you are importing Ansible as a library in your software which is licensed BSD-2. There are different instances in the Ansible documentation (like here) which encourages licensing as GPL when importing or extending Ansible.

Thanks for bringing that to our attention, we will re-evaluate that internally and change the license if needed.

Column has been re-licensed under GPLv3 via https://github.com/vmware/column/pull/143 and https://github.com/vmware/column/pull/141. Again, thanks for letting us know!
