Graded by * Very important to have * Somewhat important to have * Not important either way * Somewhat important not to have * Very important not to have * Don't know what this is Given those options I have a hard time seeing that people putting "Very important not to have" should be bundled together with "Somewhat important to have" =) Looked in the survey_data file and the break down for the two types of responses looks like this: User Contributor 490 419 Very important to have 1024 712 Somewhat important to have 22821266 Not important either way 336 327 Somewhat important not to have 157 166 Very important not to have 488 280 Don't know what this is I am worried that a good portion of the people outside of "Don't know what this is" actually does not now what it is, most of them are indifferent to them. - -- brother http://sis.bthstudent.se -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEVlIsX3Eri6ICyZwJOIRDexPY/4sFAllBKTQACgkQOIRDexPY /4s/gg/+P5FMYVBdGpXuCHDT5Szeic9waqvPqhxrCkUZ7YzW//o8+eSd0qAxQGF/ 2iOk/utXStjGvE5XiYwZjjmgmNrgmD+bfO2mVf+iGWn64U7RRhnaNWfPXMoIKeVR XR1jg/yixyPUnZfTBQr3emdI01hpGX3SHpXu4h3rcHvpVTABMFc9mhPW/6MopTUk z4n8uatszIW+NIECVwxZRXgBiIBtnxlDQoa3YIT7j0JRYprdGhcXjMq0wciRSyGx 40opknTtanpVgYCXChcfbYjQ31erO9DD1z6t4MMPBPuL0s7E++iklrIIgj2+KwQ/ Lwv7Cjg6/MaIDnHCIRm40Ov+nrwNXdWgAtQ9veOVdr2Wa9pH5ixx9tLD3ki0CBq4 YIYf2PAmdVSSBWIgE5b4mJDND19pz3ysa0ahabgaZO6iyty9VB3GSXfCoya2JJc0 3Vp6S7k8dIFCkMsQH0/r6jioBaUaRfIf3IfN20wkp21HonCgruTmp06wNoqZpkMk OpLrmTcudK7cMkp8Rzq/7Zz5jK1HJaguR6Tsdc1fzQMk61dYnGmwXb7LRTvGo5a/ XCaU1eRvqfvoXPfnEdFgjPgrRQ5lNI7yXV77FFvuUuWez4zI8VevC8yKFh/usbMU ljGjEUks8+RFFeI8GhbQjn73uX1bXWFO0GTC6YIDYbxkaq6I1TM= =eWWK -END PGP SIGNATURE-

I would hope it was due to a philosophical reaction to assigning copyright to $also_commercial_corp rather than it being merely a hoop to jump through before a PR will be accepted, but the latter might be skewing the stats.

I had not read it before and still hasn't read all of it yet. Spotted a detail in Fig. 3 that wasn't really addressed as far as I can tell. Well over 50% have marked CLAs of some type of importance. Isn't that high? They might be marked high with the sentiment of "I don't want them and I deeply care for them to go away" I assume but still. At the same time license is the most important type of documentation when it comes to choosing the project to use it seems. - -- brother http://sis.bthstudent.se -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEVlIsX3Eri6ICyZwJOIRDexPY/4sFAllBEpsACgkQOIRDexPY /4vrig//clysaZklErhdidQasuDjXsTjgW90Zfu2wFxNgb213jVhldKKpTFhDAZh rPL6CyAyuWQ9/MIoCqMZ1agA2eyyylDGTzcVmPtmO+Jkcck0h0lE7qBot0ihEieC 5OZ9oPKJsXVueZYjvIxG95v6RmyjY5QM2ufuIoX+R2/xXg0Zsls+z1e2he8p+RVE xY0twCf68l44YYXrUl+zKmM4xDptN9trbV/YE8OFpyOWd//OCnwEIq4SL9fKLv4z gsAKseEH4oLIw37YI/QlAMduN7V5etoEL/eZ90eaF7uReANDF7P/2y4RP/Ao20ao 19QEr5FJwjHDXhAYLRRf8xWljTcCaj/A48RuS60l8/dtY2Sw0x0DeSOhgLb7hez/ EFpU/zBTiWCjncbeAjdFOVPB+oQ2zpnlxn4BvCUaCCrrLdx4EpauTDASiANvkSia mowayGlsZISC1sCIW6Ta52u+uL3jy3d4soSmBgiB6YENJkacgCqjQN0bAP/N17Bi ywHO2HuVOY+rM8FoTEIFSVnmYnGoWzt5NHLaSLwVRXNks2u8MpUMuVPmRkiYB1ry Hb/u/XLt5v3KH1H5ZauAi/L2HjY2HKXrcuAZcyxgzku58ihbDcENNtiJY2y/AqVx Ij5NbgV0D56T9HnA8xpcHiRyQFwoovE1P8P6084fF04xan0EEMU= =di7Z -END PGP SIGNATURE-
