Hi, speaking only for myself, I'm of the firm belief that BSD-style licenses are better suited to diversify development and product growth than GPL is. GPL is just very restrictive and potentially painful. I'm not familiar with the apache license at all, but have no issue at all with puppet moving away from GPL. Just my 2c.
