This is a very interesting survey I participated in a few months ago;
they finally published the results. It was a very comprehensive set
of questions.

Overview of the FLOSS project
This project remedies the lack of information on Free/Libre/Open Source Software (1) starting at 
the very beginning: by conducting surveys to generate a unique base of primary data on Free/Open 
Source Software usage and development; identifying indicators to measure value creation and 
dissemination in the OS/FS arena; identifying business models based on these indicators; 
identifying the impact of and recommending changes in government policy and regulatory environments 
with regards to OS/FS; finally, the development of a base for extending these to the broader 
economic measurement of non-monetary and trans-monetary activity in the information society, beyond 
the domain of OS/FS.
