Who's to say that Freshmeat's license count is kept up to date, but let's assume it is. By my count, that's more than 10,000 non-GPL licenses. And since you don't list the counts from, say a year ago, we have no way of knowing if the overall ratio of GPL to non-GPL has gone down or up. So your post doesn't really say anything. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
