TuxRadar: Clear as Mud


This is the first time I have ran across this site, but what in the seventeen frozen hells of Valhalla is TuxRadar trying to ask:

Open Ballot: would you hire the FSF for the role of Linux PR department?

The Free Software Foundation has always done a great job defending the various free software licences, promoting their use, and asking for Linux to be referred to as GNU/Linux. But we’re asking whether, regardless of its good work in this field, the FSF has helped free software grow or whether its hard stance against proprietary software has harmed Linux up-take. Add your comments below, preferably answering “Yes, they’re the voice of free software” or “No, I prefer open source and Linux without GNU.”

I mean the title question is unclear at best , the “explanatory” text is confusing, and the preferred answers neither address the title question nor are they exclusive (to the limited degree I am able to make sense out of them).

This reminds me of a GNOME Foundation poll.
