You're right about that. Unfortunately, there are still forces at LO/TDF that think there should be no two Office projects next to each other, but one must defeat the other. These are the same people who don't want to see that AOO is a free project and not under the direction of Oracle. Today AOO is much more independent than LO, because the direction at LO is given by companies and not the community in the narrower sense. > It is a shame that the code can not be > shared both ways. But it's also tactics of the TDF. It wouldn't be a problem in practice if all LO developers would put their code under an AOO compatible license. greetings, Jörg Excuse these somewhat unpleasant words, but I think you have to, in the name of truthfulness, sometimes say things that are true. I spent many years at OOo working with people who later switched to LO. It was some (by far not all) of these people who confused the common idea of free software with a private war against Oracle and equated the OpenOffice community members with Oracle. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
