The code from Apache projects is available for all to use, including LibreOffice. The license allows this and the FSF says that the Apache license is compatible with GPLv3: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#apache2 Also, LibreOffice developers are already looking at areas where they can take improvements we've made in Apache OpenOffice, such as our new native SVG support: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-December/021884.html So we are contributing to LibreOffice, and IMHO this is wonderful! Of course, I think we'd all prefer for this to be a two-way collaboration, but I think that will come over time. -Rob > - Clemens > > 2011/12/27 Rob Weir <robw...@apache.org>: >> The Apache OpenOffice Project Management Committee is pleased to >> announce the availability of our new Announcement mailing list.
