In [*Apache Ant or GNU Make survey*](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4218461/apache-ant-or-gnu-make-survey) the asker is apparently carrying out an Ant v. Make research smackdown.

To me this looks like spam, but seems harmless. Should anything be done?

Is there a policy on canvassing the community in this way? Is it allowed?

As an aside, it seems like the OP would get more views with some language tags, rather than what's on there now...
