What licence are Swift projects usually under?

13 of the 15 carry an explicit open-source licence across 5 distinct licences, and the licence is shown on every card. Permissive licences (MIT, Apache-2.0) are the safest default for commercial use; check the copyleft ones individually.

Should I use Swift or Kotlin for my project?

Both are viable. Swift is the better default if your team already knows it or the libraries you need are written in it; Kotlin may suit you better if you need the ecosystem, tooling or performance profile it is known for. The registry lists 15 Swift projects to work from.
