Arguably, yes it does, but that’s Madlab’s software freedom at stake
more than it is yours.

This article is something to bear in mind if you are considering using
such web applications, but you are not required to use Google Docs to
complete the survey above.  The form is a simple HTML form, and may be
completed and submitted with Javascript disabled.

There is an argument for boycotting any site or anyone that uses
non‐free software in an attempt to reduce the use of free software, but
I find that impractical… I browse to a lot of web sites, regardless of
whether they use Apache or Microsoft IIS for example.  If I didn’t use
Header Spy and Wappalyzer in Firefox, I wouldn’t even know what
technologies are in use on a large number of sites.
