I believe there was an instance in the distant past where an open-source friendly sociological researcher used aggregated community data to produce a report. IIRC she had access to PII in order to aggregate and compile the data, but the output report (being aggregated) could not be used to identify anyone. This would be similar to the "State of Fedora" case that Máirín raised.
That is a dangerous claim to make. Aggregated data is not as safe from analysis as many people assume.
In addition, if that data exists it is subject to subpoenas and NSLs. _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/council-discuss The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
