Really interesting.
Under curl he has:
"Much more developer activity. While this can be debated, I consider three metrics here: mailing list activity, source code commit frequency and release frequency. Anyone following these two projects can see that the curl project has a lot higher pace in all these areas, and it has been so for 10+ years. Compare on openhub"
Under wget he has:
"GNU. Wget is part of the GNU project and all copyrights are assigned to FSF. The curl project is entirely stand-alone and independent with no organization parenting at all with almost all copyrights owned by Daniel."
Daniel seems pretty wrong here. Curl does not require copyright assignment to him to contribute, and so, really, 389 people own the copyright to curl if the openhub data he points to is correct :)
Even if you give it the benefit of the doubt, it's super unlikely that he owns "almost all", unless there really is not a lot of outside development activity (so this is pretty incongruous with the above statement).
(I'm just about to email him with some comments about this, i just found it interesting)
- Flenser 11y ago"almost all copyrights owned by Daniel." and "389 people own the copyright to curl" aren't mutually exclusive. I think Daniel was saying that most of the code is copyright to him, and you are saying that the rest is copyright to 388 other people.
