I agree with this. Developers who actually make OpenOffice.org (as opposed to people like me who just talk about it and promote it) should have as much, if not more say, in this than I do. They have obviously made their choice - several times, as the issue report has been filed on numerous occassions. There's no point to debate this further.

Some Tic Tac Toe game or Space Invaders clone (which has a feature to prevent repeated use) is not going to add to the problem. If educators seem to think that it is, the person marketing to them needs to be ready with an answer for that. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ Because everyone loves free software!
