Except you won't be able to, because the data isn't published and neither is the methodology. I won't go into the other issues with the claims there, except to say that even that article doesn't claim GPL use is *decreasing* -- projects are not switching away from it. The strongest claim made is that the rate of increase in use by new projects has slowed. gnu-misc-discuss would be a more appropriate list for this conversation. This list is targeted at people who want to help a project (LibrePlanet) committed to distributing software under terms that allow commercial use. -john -- John Sullivan | Executive Director, Free Software Foundation GPG Key: 61A0963B | http://identi.ca/johnsu01 | http://fsf.org/blogs/RSS Do you use free software?
