Obviously Linux *is* Open Source. But I personally find a bit exaggerated to say that the survey is useless just because of how this specific question is posed:
"Which OS are you using? MV Linux / Open Source Linux / WinCE / Other" since this reflects what is the Os landscape availability for DaVinci users today. Anyway, thanks for the sensible and precious feedback. PS: By the way there is indeed an effort ongoing to accelerate the inclusion of DaVinci support in the mainstream Linux, see thread [1] bye [1] Koen: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg11774.html On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 11:32 AM, Koen Kooi <[email protected]> wrote: > On 21-04-09 09:53, Leo DaVinci wrote: >> >> Koen, > > <snip lots of propaganda> > > The point was that when you say: > > Which OS do you use: > > [ ] Foo linux > [ ] Bar linux > [ ] Open Source linux > [ ] QNX > [ ] WinCE > > And ask people to check a box your survey becomes useless.
