    I work for a US state agency that funds FOSS projects, and all projects that I write in-house or fund in the future will be GPL.

        Not on the stuff I write in-house. I haven’t had any new external projects funded since I started here. I have asked for some current projects that are MIT to switch to GPL, but that’s a can of worms, and none have pulled the trigger yet.

          Gotcha, that’s unfortunate. Fingers crossed, soon, and you’ll be able to GPL that shit from the start! I hope you are successful in converting some projects to GPL. I have heard of some people going the other way from GPL to BSD because of their idea of what “freedom” means.
