I meant, to make a large representative sample.
I wish everyone was of your opinion, but I've been hearing otherwise
from the majority of people I talked with; geography, environment,
economy, and other factors might play a role in which groups are
louder and/or larger.
It would be important to understand who they are, their positions,
and what might prevent their games from being free software.
