[OSM-talk] online survey about the OSM community

[JB]

Ok, then it is the last option, my english is not good enough for this 
survey. But in this case, I suspect it will also be the case for many 
many other non-english people…
Of course people should be able to make money out of OSM. But as pointed 
out previously, in some countries, it seems that OSM only evolves where 
money is involved.
Anyway, thanks for the explanation.
JB.
