theres a link in the original article to another other article explaining
this..

http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/07/20/1026898931824.html

basically.. (from the first paragraph)

"A flaw in the way annual software usage statistics are compiled may have
led to legal distribution of open-source programs being lumped with illegal
trafficking in desktop applications, inflating losses to industry through
"phantom" piracy."
