How are you measuring "most used"?

By what most open source code projects are licenced as.

In theory you could have a million projects used by very few people under one licence, and a few projects used by very many people under another licence.

It might be interesting to know how many people use software under each licence.

Not only is it interesting, it's a better metric when determining the value software brings to society. This is about the optimum in 'promoting the arts and sciences'. The project count is irrelevant.
