Seems the link to the openhub statistics have been cleaned in the email... https://www.openhub.net/p/nuttx
In a Nutshell, NuttX... ... has had 39,978 commits made by 344 contributors representing 2,003,984 lines of code ... is mostly written in C with a very well-commented source code ... has a well established, mature codebase maintained by a very large development team with stable Y-O-Y commits ... took an estimated 581 years of effort (COCOMO model) starting with its first commit in February, 2007 ending with its most recent commit about 1 month ago You can see that NuttX has already been a very 'sucessful' project, and it already has a large number of contributors. So I think here, the most important thing is to help maintaining the project with the apache way. And technically, another thing is to deal with the license change, as NuttX is already a very big project and has a very large code base.
