Nine Out Of Ten Linux Developers Refute Sco’s Linux Lawsuit (Evans Data Corp.)

Evans Data Corporation has released the results of a survey of Linux users concerning the SCO lawsuit. "More than 90% of Linux developers don’t believe the SCO/Linux lawsuit has any merit, according to the Spring 2004 Linux Development Survey from Evans Data Corporation. Three percent "absolutely" believe the lawsuit has merit, a further 5% think it "probably" has merit but more than half answered "absolutely not"." The survey also looks into the expanding use of the Eclipse development platform and Java on Linux.

And 2 of the 3% that believed that the case "absolutely" has merit are trolling. Basically, in any questionaire, you'll get a sprinkling of people who select the most outrageous answers possible, just because.

Thus, 3% is about the lowest you'll ever get for any unlikely alternative. Indeed, if you made a questionaire about how the solar-system is structured, and made one of the options "turtles all the way down", you'd probably get something similar for that.
