When I looked at the templates and hoped to transfer some from the OOo site, most of these did not have the author's contact As for the extensions, they are ZIP files and you can often (not always, unfortunately) unzip them and find a README.txt file with author names and contact details. As for templates, the policy of templates.services.openoffice.org forces some document properties to be filled in in the file itself before you can upload a template. By inspecting the document properties, you will find some details; the templates I uploaded are complete with contact details, but I'm not sure about the rest. we should include in our documentation of any of the submissions of extensions/templates that the author's email is part of the contributing form. I think it's smarter to actually inspect the file, because this way the basic information is embedded in the template and is carried around every time it is copied. This is one of the nice things that make templates.services.openoffice.org an interesting site (just in terms of underlying technology). Regards, Andrea. Thanks for the interesting information Andrea. IMO, if we are going to make these available on our site we should make it so that people do not have to go to these extremes to find the author's email address. I like the idea that the emails are embedded some way in the extension/template itself, but the email address should also be available for people to see as one of the section in the file description itself. This will add a little more transparency as far as the original submitter's identity.

Who will add the security issues and where would we find these? Do we track these already and do we offer patches for security issues? indeed, that would be a good idea.

Thanks for the explanation. I think it would be nice to have our statement on the matter published somewhere on our website. As for the comment of although US corporations have a preference for Apache License which it is not copyleft (MPL is defined as weak copyleft), IMO it's more of a cultural thing. We, in North America, are used to seeing big business and hearing of for-profit philosophies and little of opensource philosophy. I remember as early as the last year and a half of hearing people say at school board IT meetings that installing Linux on boxes was considered illegal if MSWindows are not installed and my countering with the fact that I was a whitebox dealer who sold boxes with Linux installed on it and that my sales were going fine and were definitely not illegal, OR, also hearing from some of my US colleagues in the educational field that opensource is considered un-American because there is no profit involved. This type of attitude are chronicled in articles such as this: [http://www.serverwatch.com/trends/article.php/3868046/Open-Source-Software-Bad-Evil-and-Un-American.htm]. This is some of the mind-set that some of us harbour in North America. It's organization like ours and our supporting partners that will make a difference in changing attitudes in North America. BTW ... this is a neat article to read re: the spread of opensource software in North America: [http://www.serverwatch.com/trends/article.php/3868046/Open-Source-Software-Bad-Evil-and-Un-American.htm], which brings home the importance of having LibreOffice ready for large-scale installations. We need to make our LibreOffice more attractive by providing administrative tools to ease large-scale installation as well as administrative tools for managing installation preferences remotely.
