Dear All,

As part of my Master's research on the subject of "Open Source GIS" I
am conducting a couple of surveys, this first survey is about
"Awareness of Open Source concepts".

I would very much appreciate it if you would take the time to fill it
out, it should take about 15 minutes to fill.

Please feel free to circulate it among your collegues.

You can access my online survey on the following URL:

Thanks,

Mahmoud

How am I supposed to answer to this <<If you developed software derived
from an open source one, then you can copyright the derived software and
distribute it under a proprietary style licenses.>> ?

The correct answer is neither "yes" nor "no", but "it depends on the
license", since BSD-style licenses usually permits this, while GPL ones
do not (LGPL being the exception).
