It also excludes retired and unemployed people. I believe people like
me, retirees who do not want the stress of a senior technical leader job
but enjoy programming, will be an increasing source of open source
programming in the future.
The results will have to be interpreted very carefully due to those
limitations. For example, the survey cannot be used to estimate the
extent of open source dependence on employer support.
It seems unfortunate, because the survey could have been made much more
generally useful without the limitation to employed people. They could
still have asked about employment status, and used that to select
responses to process for some studies.
The introductory paragraph needs to be rewritten. I suggest:
"Please see below for a message from some researchers from the
University of Cincinnati who are running a survey on participation in
Open Source by employed people. The survey is open to those Apache
contributors and committers who are employed by a third party. The
researchers have said they make a donation to the ASF for completed
responses up to a maximum of $1000."

Interesting that self-employed people are excluded. So many committers are.

Dear Apache Software Foundation Contributors and Committers,
We are researchers at the University of Cincinnati. We want to understand
how a firm's participation in open source software (OSS) development
affects you and your job. Since you are significant contributors to the OSS
community, we invite you to participate in our study by completing an
online survey.
The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. In appreciation
of your time, $5 will be donated to Apache for each completed survey
response up to a total of $1,000. In addition, each survey participant will
be entered into a prize drawing. Two people will be randomly selected—each
person will receive a $250 Visa gift card.
Your individual responses will be kept confidential and anonymous. Your
participation is voluntary. You may start and then change your mind and
exit the survey at any time. You can complete the survey any time before
November 10th. We will send one reminder on October 21st and one on
November 8th.
Your inputs are extremely valuable to improving our understanding of how
OSS development impacts developers’ career experiences.
Please click the following link to start the survey.
