Half done. But thanks.
By the way, I'd put final data from the survey as an attachement at
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitSurvey2007
Currently there is data I used to generate this summary, in CSV format.
I have used horrible Perl script to tabularize free-form questions, removing
comments etc., and to generate tables in this summary.

The only link between GPL and commercial support is that GPL does not
prohibit commercial support (like noncommercial-free licenses for example),
and that having commercial support doesn't mean that license would change
to proprietary (it cannot).
