Hi Luiz,
Are there any concrete reasons to believe that Oracle's strategy with
OpenOffice.org is going to be radically different than Sun's?
It is not impossible that, at some point in time, Oracle's management
could decide that to continue the development and support
of OpenOffice.org is not anymore in its best interests. And it is good
to be aware of this possibility, and to make sure we, as the community
at large, are not completely unprepared in case this would happen.
But as it stands I believe it is disrespectful and foolish to cast
unwarranted suspicions on Oracle. Sun Microsystems has made tremendous
efforts in the development of OpenOffice.org, for which we should be
thankful. And if Oracle plans to continue these efforts, they should be
praised for that.
Best regards
Simon

Hi,
After many hesitations, so many doubts about the future of
OpenOffice.org, Oracle has been publicly saying that "supports the
software revolution". The more hurried they could understand that,
finally, was a declaration of love Free Software. Concept is wrong! It
is not hatred to Free Software and Open Source, of wanting to destroy
the community, but made just one investment with the purchase of Sun and
Investment needs to make a profit and only profit counts. On the ground
the whole ideology and philosophy behind the Free Software; damned if
the idealists, there is no more time for utopias. No more romantic, just
business. Sustainability?! Shock in the traditional business model based
on licenses? That's all gone. After a period of ten years OOo, start a
new life for those who have the courage to oppose the Oracle returning
to his mark, taking on new projects. For my part, my first reaction is
to return the email @openoffice.org before they charge for it, despite
being just a redirector. Home is a trend I'm calling "In what Oracle is
Oracle and the community what is the community. We will be much happier,
for sure. Follow me good!
