Ansible is under the GPLv3 but they say this doesn't apply to your .yml files because those are data, not code.
I think they're interpreted code. The yml has steps which aren't too different from statements.
If what the project creator says matters, the GPL has less legal meaning.
I personally think the GPLv3 does protect more than just compiled code, and that Ansible is off their rocker with the GPL.
