GPLv3 adoption rates: Do they matter?
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tue, 10/02/2007 - 11:46.
Since its release this June, GPLv3 certainly seems to have taken on the role of baby Damien within the open source licensing world. Sure, it's cute and cuddly at first glance, but behind its deep blue eyes lurk pure and unhinged evil ... at least if you believe the recent Evans Data survey.
With 380 developers who were working on open source software polled, only 6 percent of whom have adopted GPLv3, it seems that not even Damien's dedicated but possessed nanny will go near him.
Then again, Palamida's posted conversion rates (for projects converting fully to GPLv3) seem to indicate that the Evans Data results may be a bit too pessimistic.
So who do we believe: Palamida or Evans Data?
