Personally, I'd love to see these reports include annual data on the number/percentage of repositories with an open source license, and a breakdown of which licenses are most common. There was a post to that effect on the Github blog in 2015 [1], but it looks like it was a one-time deal. I think it would fit well into the Community Report data, and provide a pretty useful view into the actual state of free and open-source licensing.

- breck 6y agoYou can search repos by license and see the counts. Two of my faves: 6M MIT: https://github.com/search?q=license%3Amit&type=Repositories&ref=advsearch&l=&l= https://github.com/search?q=license%3Amit&type=Repositories&... 164K Unlicense: https://github.com/search?q=license%3Aunlicense&type=Repositories&ref=advsearch&l=&l= https://github.com/search?q=license%3Aunlicense&type=Reposit... They also have search by license "family".
