Code Copying Survey for Developers

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday April 8, 2004 @06:07AM from the something-to-think-about dept.

Struan Robertson writes "With all the controversy surrounding SCO's allegations that its Unix code was copied into Linux, we're running a survey with ZD Net to gauge industry practice on code copying. Do you keep a code library? Do you take it from one employer to another? These are the questions we're asking. All answers will be anonymous. The results - with expert legal analysis - will be published free - we're not doing this to sell reports etc. If you're a developer and happy to help, see our questions on SurveyMonkey.com."

MS Astroturfers! by Queuetue · 2004-04-08 07:07 · Score: 4, Informative

I'd think pretty long and hard before answering these questions. This group appears to be a MS astroturf (false grassroots) organization, going as far as quoting that shill Didio from the Yankee Group.

The survey is full of misleading questions and will *force* you to admit you steal. Watch out.
