55. Would commerical (paid) support from a support vendor be of
interest to you/your organization?

Only 44 answers yes, 217 no, 126 not applicable (which was menat to
encompass people who do not use git for work).

Are questions like this at all indicative of where Git is looking
towards going?

No.  These questions are just questions.  Git is GPLv2, and it will
probably stay that forever, so you are _free_ to start a commercial
support scheme for Git, but others are free not to choose it.

I for one could imagine training people, and giving technical  
support for
companies needing that support.

You seem to imply that GPLv3 would prevent any form of commercial  
support for Git...

Section 4 of GPLv3:
"you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee."
