Yes.  Wrong.

    They don't want GNU's "official" participation in the survey, they just
    want the largest number of open source developpers to participate. Their
    study is about how open source devs work together as teams in
    distributed environments. Emacs is open source (aside from being "part
    of the GNU project"), therefore it makes sense to ask emacs devs for
    their input on this. Philosophy has nothing to do with it.

Antoine that's a sloppy way of promoting the ghost of dissolution you
mention above.
