Fun With The Launchpad API : Software Licenses

April 26, 2009
Launchpad License Breakdowns

In a nod to Michael Bernstein's F/OSS License App for Web App Wednesday, I threw together some code that does a similar thing for Launchpad. Things rolled downhill from there to do some other really fun things, but I thought I'd stop and blog about the first result before hacking on the rest of the data.

The above image is the result of this hacking. I used the Google Charts API to create the pie chart. It's obvious that GPLv2 is the most popular license, being that 35% of all Launchpad projects are licensed that way.
