This survey has been designed to complement the FLOSS survey for 2002 of Open Source/Free Software developer communities sponsored by the European Commission.
FLOSS-US asks questions on some of the topics addressed by the original FLOSS survey, plus questions on several other important issues, including open source developers’ motivations and expectations, usage of licenses and programming tools, individuals’ contributions to projects, and support by proprietary software firms.
