OOo copyright is held by the US-based company Sun Microsystems, Inc., and it is bound by US law. OpenOffice.org website is hosted by the US-based company CollabNet, which is also bound by US law. The terms of use Erwin pointed us to obtain. The rule as I've understood it is that individuals based in the 11 or so countries proscribed by US law cannot be members of OOo, meaning in effect that domains based in those countries are proscribed. Nothing is stated about not working on languages those countries actually use. best, Louis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
