Open source and diagramming survey

[chung at engr.orst.edu]

Thanks for pointing it out. We had several pilot study before real  
distribution of the survey. No one (even our open source lab students  
here) had suggested we have only one distro on our list. We will add  
more on the lists.
Thanks again.
