9 As expected, the "Artistic" license is the most popular of the three.
10 I count 94 packages in the tree using it. This is if I don't count
11 packages that are dual licensed "|| ( Artistic GPL-1+ )" or similar.

13 "NOSA" and "Watcom-1.0" are each used by a single package only, namely
14 sys-infiniband/libibvpp and dev-lang/jwasm, respectively.
