It would be disappointing if results from surveys launched on WordPress.org weren't publicly shared. We who contribute to the project expect transparency in all our work, with the goal to democratize publishing by sharing WordPress across the ecosystem from source code to documentation and other resources.

The WordPress Marketing Team has published it’s WordPress Usage Survey Report polling agencies and their clients, along with web hosting companies and enterprises, about their use of WordPress and their perspective on the web platform. We released the report in our handbook as a takeaway PDF with a CC0 license for the public domain, which is the standard for documents on WordPress.org (at least according to @otto42 on the Meta team).

We had to edit out comments mentioning companies, products, and services other than WordPress as the subject of the survey and in line with the Privacy Policy. We knew and expected that with any open-ended questions. I suggest that whoever manages this WordPress User Survey follow our example, and freely share the information they are collecting as appropriate.

Here's the announcement to access the WordPress Usage Survey Report:
