These are the though ones to answer with free software and I am sure
they understand. You can only give them estimates. If they want to
calculate marketshare they are complety off anyway with free software.

If you want some estimates, I suggest taking:
	Number of GRASS Mailinglist members and multiply at least by ten.

	Number of ftp downloads and webhits can lead to another estimates.
	Take them from your server and at least double them.

Have a happy news years celebration,
Bernhard
