Hi, I believe we should go with the same opt-out policy that Mozilla does for its health report and crash reporter. In order to get a useful amount of data that can be analyzed that will correctly represent the user base of LO users, opt-out is the better way to go.
It would be good to know what policy that OOo used in 2009 when it collected its data < https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Tracking_results >.
