Solo project — review before adopting
copyleft license (GPL-2.0) — review compatibility; single-maintainer (no co-maintainers visible)…
Has a license, tests, and CI — clean foundation to fork and modify.
Documented and popular — useful reference codebase to read through.
No critical CVEs, sane security posture — runnable as-is.
- ⚠Solo or near-solo (1 contributor active in recent commits)
- ⚠GPL-2.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
