Hello. One thing I do acknowledge here is the support and maintenance of the software as a vital part of the community. While my own development (respin) doesn't have a lot of new features, a competitor had blasted me with - what have you done.
How we serve community cannot be measured in just new features or updates. We offer support, guidance, and in some cases, hope. I remember when OO was abandoned and Apache took it on. This recent PR strategy by the Document Foundation was extremely disappointing. I appreciate the AOO community and am here to support this effort. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dr. Michael Stehmann" <anw...@rechtsanwalt-stehmann.de> To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Sent: Friday, October 16, 2020 5:12:21 AM Subject: Re: My opinion (was: Happy birthday OpenOffice) Hello, > Our project is a community of people working together making software, > documentation, helping users etc. for the public good. > If others use our contributions and don't give back.

And to the last sentence I have a comment: I am (and maybe some others are) supporting Apache OpenOffice not because but in spite of the copyleftless licence.
