The main purpose of my survey is understanding how developers perceive the Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, especially from contributors to Linux distributions and BSD families. If the survey is successful, we will publish our findings at SE academic venues (journals or conference).

This questionnaire contains an error:

Which statement best describes your current situation with any of your
contributed projects? *
* The projects that I contribute to the most is currently using GitHub
(currently using GitHub)
* One of the projects that have made contributions has already left GitHub
(used before but not now)
* All projects that I contribute to have never used GitHub (none of the above)

None of these options apply to me:
- Debian does not use GitHub and has never done so (so the first option
is not correct)
- None of the projects that I contribute to have left github (so that is
also not correct)
- I do contribute to some projects that use github and continue to do so
(so the last option is also not correct).
Since it's marked as "none of the above" I suspect you really meant
something else for that last option. Since it's also marked as a
required option, I can't skip it, so I've chosen the last one -- but I
suspect your answers on that question may be for some people.
