The 2021 Django Developers Survey results are now live. [See the results here.](https://lp.jetbrains.com/django-developer-survey-2021-486/) If there is community feedback on the results and how to improve the survey next year, this is as good a place as any for that discussion to occur! ---

I downloaded the [raw data](https://lp.jetbrains.com/django-developer-survey-2021-486/#text-308) made available at the end of the survey report. I wanted to try to make other queries on that data and then publish it, but it is not clear the license with which it is distributed. I guess the Django Software Foundation owns that data, so I ask here: is it released in the public domain? with the same license as the Django code? licensed under Creative Commons BY-SA? with an Open Source license? I think the answer to this question is essential to understand how to improve the survey in the future. ---

Hi Paulo, This is a good question! And honestly something we haven’t covered yet so I’m glad you raised it. The DSF owns the data. And a Creative Commons BY-SA seems like the proper license to me. The PSF has a CC-BY license but I think the BY-SA makes more sense, as you suggest. I’ll connect with JetBrains and add a license.txt file to the raw download folder, similar to what has been done with the [PSF raw results](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OJxxw8sfr4qomwUdmwbc3bSRCdpDjeL7). -Will ---

Hi Will, Thanks for the clear answer about the survey results license. – Paolo ---
