Measurement technique

How to read this report

  1. 01Open status requires an explicit open, community, or named open license/availability disclosure.
  2. 02Momentum currently measures verified release cadence; download-growth snapshots will be added prospectively rather than reconstructed.
  3. 03A model without disclosed licensing is excluded from the open series.
