Catching Up
Over the past couple of weeks, Sourceforge has been doing some maintenance and updates. This backed up some of their data which we use to keep track of the GPL3 numbers. However, as mentioned in our last blog, their last push has updated their files and has added some new licenses, which we will go over in a section below. So now we are catching up on our data collection to bring them back up to date. Three weeks worth of Sourceforge data is quite a lot and will take us a week or two to update. But we do not expect that the rate has changed much during the down time, so the last two weeks of slow numbers should balance out with the next two weeks of high numbers, averaging a rate of approximately 50 GPL v3 projects.

This week our GPL v3 count is at 2808 GPL v3 projects, and increase of 57 GPL v3 projects. There was speculation as to whether the AGPL v3 would draw projects from the GPL v3 conversion rates, but this does not seem to be happening. The AGPL v3 count is up 5 projects bringing it to 125 AGPL v3 projects. The LGPL v3 number is at 272 LGPL v3 projects, up 7 projects from last week.
