I'm not sure it was a complete gaffe. They asked Linux developers what systems (plural) they used. It seems logical to me that 20% of them would have FreeBSD on a secondary partition. Heck, I even know one guy who uses FreeBSD as his *primary* system for Linux development! Knowing that 20% of Linux developers use FreeBSD is valuable marketing information. If I were Inprise/Borland, for example, and bought this report, I would know that I need to get Kylix ported to FreeBSD.
