[dba-Tech] Open Source

Good go Arthur:

1. http://www.ohloh.net/projects/9/analyses/latest... This will surprise you
as it did me.
2. You are mostly right: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/15/analyses/latest
3. Good guess. You are less than 500,000 off:
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/15?p=GCC%2C+the+GNU+Compiler+Collection
4. I have no idea but some have suggested more, much more than 20,000,000
lines of code.

Ok, I'l take my swings:
1. C/C++
2. C/C++
3. c (> 2,000,000 but < 3,000,000)
4. d (More than 20,000,000)

Just a (or rather four) WAGs,
Arthur
