Code Copying Survey for Developers

Posted by CmdrTaco on 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."

    .. if all code was "free", then this wouldn't be an issue.

    Ah, the age-old question that presumes facts which are not in evidence, or as I like to call it, the "Have you stopped beating your wife?" question.
