I've run statistics on these from time to time, and they're not that widely used. The most recent numbers, from last September, of packages using these licenses are: CC-BY 3.0 68 CC-BY-SA 3.0 133 By comparison, the least-used license family in common-licenses (the GFDL) is used by 939 packages. It's possible that this has changed dramatically since last September, but it seems somewhat unlikely. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
