[Discussioni] rapporto FLOSS sul software libero

[Simo Sorce]

su altre liste (discussion a fsgeurope.org credo) ho letto forti critiche
a questo studio e alla sua validità.

Si criticava credo la scelta del campione e il fatto che il Software
Libero non fosse correttamente definito quando sono stati rilevati i
dati.

Simo.
