Yeah, it's gotten much more rigorous, the hoops you have to jump through to get to release open source software. If I want to so much as publish a GPL'ed Perl script, I have to prepare a notification packet and send it off to the Campus Intellectual Property Committee so that they will know that the material has been released.

I can still do it, to be sure, but the effort required really does throw a not insignificant bit of friction into the process.
