I believe if we were to do a survey on the main site or linked to via the site, it should be general, the results public, and it should have no commercial influence - from EDB or otherwise.

Gavin

All,
EnterpriseDB would like to do a survey of PostgreSQL users, at least the ones they can reach through postgresql.org. The results of the survey, anonymized, will be published under an OSS license for our use.
Under these circumstances, is it OK for EnterpriseDB to use pgsql-announce, pgsql-general and/or postgresql.org News to advertise the survey and solicit users for it? My personal thought is "yes". Yours?
List of questions below my signature; suggestions on better questions welcome!
