About this data

This page tracks the percentage of active GitHub repositories that include a LICENSE file. The numbers are calculated by analysing GitHub's public repository data. This metric is crucial for understanding the legal landscape of open-source software, as it indicates adherence to open-source licensing. By monitoring this percentage, developers and organisations can better navigate the complexities of open-source software development. The data provides insights into the trends and patterns of license compliance, helping to identify areas for improvement.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

No live dashboard, recurring report, or public dataset was found that tracks the percentage of active GitHub repositories containing a LICENSE file; only academic papers, general license popularity metrics, and one-off automation repositories appear in the search.

Uniqueness score 1.00 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
