European Commission sponsors a study of Free/Libre/Open Source Software

FLOSS is a study currently under way at the Institute of Infonomics,
University of Maastricht and Berlecon Research, Berlin, and includes an
automated analysis of source code as well as a survey of developers.
This survey is part of a significant study sponsored by the European
Commission that includes policy recommendations and will be a source of
valuable  information for the Free/Open Source community, businesses and
policy makers.
 
The survey intends to get developers'’own opinions on a range of issues
related to Free Software / Open Source. The online questionnaire is
specifically intended to provide a mirror to the Free Software / Open
Source community. The survey results will be updated and publicly
available in real time even during the data collection period.  Final
results and analysis will also be freely published.
 
Please see the questionnaire on the web site at
http://floss1.infonomics.nl/ and fill it out!
