Quick update: star history is from the full report of Nov 1, 2026.

At risk

The license changed to one that is not open source.

## Why

- In the last year the license changed from MIT to BUSL-1.1, which the Open Source Initiative does not approve. ([source 1](https://github.com/tgeorgiadis/quiver-launcher/commits/main/LICENSE), [source 2](https://github.com/tgeorgiadis/quiver-launcher))
- One person wrote 92% of human commits in the last year, so the project depends on them continuing. ([source 1](https://github.com/tgeorgiadis/quiver-launcher/commits), [source 2](https://github.com/tgeorgiadis/quiver-launcher/graphs/contributors))

### What would change this

- The license returns to one the Open Source Initiative approves.
- A second person takes a substantial share of commits.
- Partly checked: maintenance (Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.; Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.)

## Stars

Complete

Organic, confidence medium

Bars show stars gained each week. Red bars overlap a burst.

### Bursts

- **Jul 26, 2026 to Jul 29, 2026**: about 31 more stars than usual, peak 12 in one day, a spike that tapers off. We couldn't check for an outside explanation.
- **Aug 13, 2026 to Aug 15, 2026**: about 28 more stars than usual, peak 15 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
- **Sep 21, 2026 to Oct 20, 2026**: about 2.5k more stars than usual, peak 407 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.

Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.

- The star history looks organic.
- Star history from the full report of Nov 1, 2026; this update did not re-read it.
