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.
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.
You seem to be implying that, in the above, Oracle are referring to
themselves as the community itself? How so?
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.
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.
In what way haven't those been available to the OpenOffice.org community?
