FWIW, I have found those statistics: http://blackducksoftware.com/oss I don't really trust those statistics (ok, I never trust statistics anyway;) because: - CC-** and GFDL aren't listed at all, so documentation isn't included. - All BSD variants are aggregated (improperly analyzed) - Freeware / Public domain aren't listed - Python isn't listed, etc. Creative commons has some statistics about their own licenses: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/License_statistics Freshmeat used to provide some statistics (click on a date): http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://freshmeat.net/stats/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
