I really trust that there are many good people in both camps, and some with a legs in both.
I have been thinking a lot about the "2 camp situation", and if I forget about any issues between people I see easy solutions. ASF has, I think without question, the bigger infrastructure available, so we could make a svn setup like: svn:trunk svn:branches/LO That would allow common code to stay common and still allow LO to have dedicated parts. That would of course require, 3 things - a big compare across the code, to identify the differences. Code that are different would be located in the LO branch. - Change license header in the LO files. - vote current LO committers in as AOO committers I am a strong believer in the ASF license, since it protects our 2 biggest assets (the committers and the source code), with a bunch of laywers to back it up. . I do however also understand, that it is easier just to keep things as they are, because that is "no work" (except for the wasted dublicate efforts). What needs to be done, is to have especially the people with a leg in each camp to raise the issue, and reach a common understanding, after that it is pure work, where I am sure there are many helping hands. this was my christmas wish :-) merry christmas jan I.
