About this data

This page delves into the diversity of network protocols used in links within open-source license files. While these files are ubiquitous, the specific protocols they employ – such as http, https, ftp, and mailto – are not systematically tracked.

We measure the average number of unique protocols per license file and observe trends in their usage over time. For instance, we can identify if the adoption of more secure protocols like https is increasing.

Understanding this diversity offers insights into how developers link to licensing information and other external resources. This data can reveal evolving practices and potential areas for improved interoperability or security within the open-source ecosystem.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

While general datasets of open-source licenses exist, and tools scan for license compliance, none of the search results indicate a specific tracking or publication of the diversity of URL protocols used *within* open-source license files.

Uniqueness score 0.70 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
