Qualifications

ZeroVer's patent-pending zero-based versioning scheme can obviously be used by everyone, but not every usage is necessarily notable. Check that the first and at least one other criterion apply:

• [X] A current ZeroVer-compliant version (0.*) or long history of ZeroVer usage, and
• [ ] Very wide exposure (i.e., 1,000+ GitHub stars), or
• [ ] Active promotion as part of a paid product or service (e.g., Hashicorp Vault), or
• [ ] Relative maturity and infrastructural importance (e.g., Compiz, docutils)

Additional notability info

Only 400 stars, so this might not be notable enough, but since it just abandoned ZeroVer I thought now was the last chance it would have to make the list.

I'll make a special exception bc it has 16k+ commits, is c00l, and uses GPL, even if it's not 0ver anymore. :) Thanks!
