------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sun Jul 25 14:11:44 +0000 2010 ------- Below is what I have written to Apple last week via it's feedback form. http://www.apple.com/contact/feedback.html === The OpenOffice.org community is highly pleased that Apple has a software repository and that OpenOffice.org is there: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/openofficeorg.html Effective OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta, OpenOffice.org will use the LGPL v3, which is an Open Source license, or more specifically a Free Software License: http://www.openoffice.org/licenses/lgpl_license.html This distinction is an important part of our product's branding and image since its initial release 10 years ago. It would help us greatly to have the software labeled correctly. There are many other products that experience a similar issue with the repository and a positive change in the product description would thus be very visible and widely welcome. Who should we contact to get the incorrect, pejorative licensing label 'freeware' removed from our software and replaced with the correct label of 'free software', 'LGPL', or 'open source' ? Steps to Reproduce: Go to Apple web site and find description of OpenOffice.org in the repository. Read the description. Expected Results: the correct label of 'free software', 'LGPL', or 'open source' be used Actual Results: it is incorrectly called 'freeware' See also: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=96254 http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/F/freeware.html http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Free_software&oldid=374884768 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
