“Our database now contains over 2000 projects that are using the
GPL v3. This is a large milestone for the license, and seems to
still be the beginning of wider adoption. Nine months have passed
since the release of the controversial license and it has already
gained 2k projects. At this rate the GPL v3 is being adopted by
1000 projects every 4-5 months, and if the trend continues, the
license will be used by 5000 projects by the end of the year. 5k
will be a very substantial amount of projects under the GPL v3,
which may influence larger projects to move over the the GPL v3 as
well. Then again, the license can begin to cap out, but as of today
we have yet to see a decrease in adoption rates…”
