Noob here*

I would like to know how the central repository is managed, because it says it has 120k packages. What? in other distros the normal is not more than 20k, even the Aur being the most famous repo and constantly attended by the community does not exceed 80k packages.

Is it automated? How is it no problem with licenses?

Where do the packages that are uploaded to the nix repository come from?

I wanna to explain my question better but I don’t speak English :)
