Group: Free Software Foundation/Licensing Volunteers/GPL interviews

Each month, the FSF licensing team tries to publish an interview highlighting a project that has chosen to publish their software under GNU licenses, especially GNU GPLv3 and AGPLv3.

<i>Note: As of mid-2022, the FSF is </i>rebooting<i> these interviews! We have a couple interviews on the docket, but if you have any tips on potential candidates, please add them to the list below. Thank you!</i>

== Possible (future) interviews ==

Please add your suggestions to the list below. We prefer (for this purpose) if the project is ''not'' a part of the GNU Project.
