We like to invite you to a survey about the working conditions in
Free/Open-Source Software development. This survey is conducted by the
Open-Source Research Group of the University of Würzburg (Germany).
We will compare work design in open source and proprietary software
development. Our findings should be used to adjust the working
conditions of software development to the needs of the developers. The
results will be published under the Creative Commons License.
To start the survey, please follow the link:

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us!

It is nonsense to speak of "the Creative Commons License".
That project publishes more than a dozen licenses, and they have
essentially nothing in common. If you speak of Creative Commons
and you don't say which license, you have actually given no
information about what users will be able to do with this document.
This confusion is widespread and very harmful. Creative Commons'
activities encourage the confusion, which is why I do not support them
or use their licenses. If you use them, please help prevent the confusion.

The text says "Free/Open-Source Software" twice at the top, but the
rest of the text always refers to the software as "open-source".
That is not very friendly to the free software movement, so I think
I will not try to answer the survey.
I was going to consider commenting on the questions, but the page
I got with wget did not include the questions.
