What are the different objectives of the two projects in your view
Martin?
Yes Please - I would be most interested in what you perceive the
different objectives to be.
maybe you should read the announcement and faq of the Document
Foundation, there I would expect the objectives of that project
explained. If you don't understand those, ask them but not me,
If I may add one more thing - this from one of the primary marketing
pieces on the OO.o site:
-------------------
It's hard to believe that high quality,
easy to use software like OpenOffice.org 3 can really be free.
But thanks to contributions of time and money, from individuals and
companies (large and small), OpenOffice.org is free for you to use today.
Furthermore, the open-source licence used by OpenOffice.org 3 means
this freedom can never be taken away.
The OpenOffice.org community are delighted if you find our software of
use.
-------------------------
During my time here Sun, then Oracle, was continually referred to as
the primary sponsor of the community, not the community itself.
If Oracle no longer feels that it's objectives are in alignment with
those of the community at large, and therefore no longer willing to
sponsor the OpenOffice.org Community, then I believe it best to make
that statement publicly, clearly and without obfuscation.
The representatives of that other Project got an answer to their letter
to Oracle, I honestly don't know if they made this public or not but I
assume so.
Naturally the corporation is free to retain the registered domain name
and trademark which are it's property. Although as one community
member I would ask again for Oracle Corp to make those assets
available to the OpenOffice.org Community.
Please understand that I again speak only for myself.
Looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Drew Jensen
Martin
