Why the assumption of non-GPL? Just because web-based Org is hinted at and leading/feature hunting questions are a common trait of someone not wanting to reveal a commercial project? Theoretically it could just be a hobby project being looked into, right? Just curious.

What suggests that this is non-GPL and 'vaporware'? @Ted: It would be nice if this can be developed as part of GNU org-mode. On Sat, Jan 7, 2017 at 1:39 PM, Thomas S.

No mention of GPL, still looking at which features of Org mode to be implemented. Ted can correct me if my impression is wrong. I agree with you the project is interesting.

For context, I just started implementing org-mode workplanning at my job (personal user since 2007) and it's increased my productivity 10x. As I manage others I was curious about hearing about how others use org-mode in a team setting. While I was at it, I thought that it would be helpful and interesting to get a gut-check on the basic idea I was thinking of implementing to collaborate with my team. Some preliminary findings of interest: - Tags are unpopular, only 56% of people use them. Especially surprising as 70% use source-code blocks. - Largest barrier to further org mode usage is a lack of emacs expertise. Not really a surprise here. - 75% of people put their org-mode files under git version control. - We are all big promoters of using org-mode with the people we work with, and highly skeptical of their ability and desire to realize these benefits :) - mobile and calendar integration have come up as major pains multiple times in free responses I am hoping to condense findings into a pithy summary and post on github (or worg, although I've never figured out how to do that easily) so that everyone can see. I also think the term "market research" significantly overestimates my ability / desire to execute on this :) I get the concern on GPL vs. non-GPL, I also really like org mode as it fundamentally gives me control over my own data, but given where this is right now (a google forms survey) I think it's kind of a moot discussion. And yes, I know that the survey isn't very good, and that there are typos, and that certain things could have been asked better! I have made some revisions incorporating some of these comments.

But which is it; you get the concern but don't answer either way? I take this to imply that if this *does* bloom into something it will be non-GPL?
