I believe this site is important for another reason. I seem to recall
at least one master's thesis analyzed all sourceforge projects and
concluded on the basis of empirical data that BSD/Apache/MIT licenses
(re:least restrictive licenses) produce more successful projects faster
than the GPL, which kind of acts as a contrapuntal serenade to recent
Linux Journal meanderings.
