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.

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,

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.
