About this data
This page measures how frequently open-source projects include emoji policies in their license files, a trend that reflects the growing use of emoji in legal documents. The data tracks emoji counts per license, the percentage of files with emoji policies, and median emoji density (emoji per 1,000 characters). The findings reveal how formal policies adapt—or fail to adapt—to informal communication trends in open-source communities.
Why this isn't published anywhere else
While there are resources on emoji collections and open-source license usage, none track the specific phenomenon of 'emoji policy drift' in open-source license files or analyze how informal emoji trends influence formal legal documents.
