“While the GPL family is dominant, comparing the latest figures
with those provided in June 2008, June 2009, and some previous CAOS
research from March 2010 indicates a steady decline in the use of
the GPL family and the GPLv2 in particular…“We should expect to see slower growth for the GPLv2 given it
has been superseded but even though the number of AGPLv3 and GPLv3
projects grew 90% and 85% respectively over the past two years,
that only resulted in 29% growth for the GPL family overall (while
A/L/GPLv3 adoption appears to be slowing).”
