Hello,
While the current discussions focus on copyright assignments, I think
it would be a good idea to have some statistics on what licenses are
being used by Emacs packages.
Luckily answering such questions is one of the many use cases of the
Emacsmirror [1], which I maintain.
Here are the licenses used by packages that are available from Melpa:
| License | Count | Percent |
|---------------+-------+---------|
| GPL-3 | 2268 | 62 |
| GPL-2 | 634 | 17 |
| (unknown) | 509 | 14 |
| as-is | 117 | 3 |
| MIT | 45 | 1 |
| public-domain | 41 | 1 |
| GPL | 29 | 1 |
| Apache-2.0 | 18 | 0 |
| GPL-1 | 4 | 0 |
| BSD | 3 | 0 |
| CeCILL-B | 2 | 0 |
| EPL | 1 | 0 |
| MS-PL | 1 | 0 |
|---------------+-------+---------|
| total GPL | 2935 | 80 |
|---------------+-------+---------|
| total | 3672 | 100 |
You can find more such tables on [2], along with some notes on how this
information was obtained and more.
