In this study, we applied the same methods of inquiry that are commonplace in most sciences: statistics and critical analysis.<br />\r
-<br />\r
-A variety of free software projects -- both big and small -- will be reviewed from the point of view of their ability to include a diverse set of contributors. A statistical analysis will be provided, the datasets will be made public, and recommendations will be attempted.<br />\r
