That answers the geographic question you had.  Sounds like a very sane
reason and I'm also curious as to what the results of that would be.

Why do you want to know about the percentage of Red Hat voters vs.
community?

Or, put another way, what difference does that distinction make?  Should
we get the same data for Dell and IBM (as they have separate CLAs like
Red Hat)?

IMHO, a voter's employer just doesn't matter.
