Survey of Software Developers

Posted by Hemos on from the add-to-the-body-of-knowledge dept.

gerddie writes "Currently the European Commission sponsors a study of Free/Libre/Open Source Software. Part of it is a survey amongst developers of libre software, as well as an automated analysis of source code. Read also the press release"
The survey asks what you think about
  • Technology: referred programming languages, operating systems
  • Law: licensing issues, copyright and intellectual property, authorship
  • Organisation: efficiency, quality, comparison of commercial software
  • Motivation: monetary / non-monetary, reputation, pleasure, creativity, jobs
  • Expectations: what do you expect of others? What do they expect of you?
  • Larger role: will Free Software/Open Source change the economy/society, or even just the commercial information technology industry?
