Including a copy of this license text in the package does not give Microsoft any rights to the contents of your system. The President is from Texas (so gov workers now get Dell laptops). No coincidence: beleive me. Microsoft has their own judges and does an excellent job of "lobbying" our Congress. yet I voted for him twice... And remember, while taking clomipramine, you should stick to decaf. Ha ha ha. No such luck. Still loaded with cafeine ;) Yes - that can cause too much typing... I feel I filed the report with the right tag: licensing is a strict debian policy issue. Wasn't trying to hype the level. And certianly - while a fourth party list maker included "for .net" in the list could be guessed to mean only on MS - the license does say it applies to all readers. It's real simple: since it's in error being there: ---> remove the EULA from license distributed by debian <--- ---> or include an adjusting LICENSE.txt <- Anyway? How am I supposed to know whether the linux bin compiled needed any of the .net headers to finish compiling? My bet is that it did and that you are at least in part wrong in assuming it didn't. And can I get the "open source" without downloading source code containing source code emitted by Microsoft compilers (with microsoft's headers at the top)? You can't distribute it in the "free" section if you can't download the source, right? Anyway - it's Sun's perogative to put .net things in OpenOffice - not say so on the website (since that isn't binding): because they have agreements with MS. However - that doesn't mean linux can tag along. If so what does that mean? It goes in the "non-free" section. Big deal. By definition it isn't really "open" or "free" since the license states in one of the parts, equivalently, "free for educational use only" Which isn't really free, is it? You did see that section, didn't you? When I first saw .net I assumed what you said. But I think the whole thing stinks and deserves closer inspection. Third party? First party? A license is a license. A 3rd party .html isn't any weaker than a 1st party LICENCE.txt Finally. You can't distribute MS's License without their approval - so even if it doesn't apply to linux the MS EULA shouldn't be there unless it specifically says it doesn't apply to linux in bin or src. I hate to be wordy and meantion it. But I did see one of Sun's programmers say on GMU-TV "Yes - for the right price we'd sell software to Microsoft". And Sun has, often, recieved large sums of money from MS. Though I've allways trusted them and still wonder why Linux Torvalds was angry at them. Thanks for looking ;) Your too typitive user, John D.

Bug#296298: openoffice.org: OOo fails to detect itself having crashed
Package: openoffice.org Version: 1.1.3-4 Severity: normal If the user logs out without having quit OOo first (including cases like X crashed etc.), OOo will remain running, unaware that it should quit itself. When the user logs back in and tries to run OOo, no window appears because OOo finds the "running session" and tries to open the new window there, but since that X display no longer exists, nothing happens (from the user's viewpoint). It is especially strange that if Ooo tries to open a new window in a non-existent X display, it does not detect that X has crashed, as if the window can open successfully without errors even without a functional X. The user has to "killall -9 soffice.bin" to make OOo become responsive again. Steps to reproduce: 1. Log in (e.g., to Xfce4) 2. Run oowriter (e.g.) 3. Log out without quitting oowriter first 4.
