Ok, then it is the last option, my english is not good enough for this
survey. But in this case, I suspect it will also be the case for many
many other non-english people…
Of course people should be able to make money out of OSM. But as pointed
out previously, in some countries, it seems that OSM only evolves where
money is involved.
Anyway, thanks for the explanation.

Either the survey doesn't understand about OSM or since it does have a
subject matter specialist on board I'd be inclined to think its
surveying the perception of the mappers. I strongly suspect many
think it is totally non-commercial and I've seen a number of
businesses who didn't realise they could use the maps without payment.

Hum, I was finally curious of what I would find there. I find this:
"It is important that OpenStreetMap keep the use of maps
non-commercial."
Is this really a serious question, or a serious survey, or am I
just completly mistaking about OSM since the beginning, or is my
English not as good as I thought it was?
Sorry for the interruption,
JB.

In an ideal world the way to get a proper random sample
would be to select
OSM mappers randomly then message them. Hopefully you'd
get better than
90% response rate to keep it statistically meaningful.
Reality is you might be lucky to obtain a 2% response. So
the next best
thing is OSM-talk and hopefully he'll get the 1,000
responses which he
needs to make it statistically meaningful.
Remember that we're sending emails and that the task can be
automated,
so a 2% response rate isn't really an issue. And it's much
better to
individually contact a uniformly random sample than to globally
contact a biased sample (only a particular kind of contributor
follows
mailing lists). As a added bonus of contacting individually, you
already know the person's mapping profile.
Here are a few proposed guidelines to keep things in check
though :
* treat a survey like an import: it should be
community-reviewed and
accepted before going ahead. Be transparent, be usefull, be well
writen, be multilingual, etc.
* set target request and response counts ahead of time, and stop
sending requests whenever one of the counts is reached
* provide a way to opt-out any future survey via you osm account
Any other do's and don't ?
