I'll have to think hard about this to give a complete answer, but for example, 
it is necessary to have an error routine for when the user enters text in 
error. On the other hand, text input can also be a desired feature, in which 
case one must ensure that if text is entered, it is automatically treated 
differently from a numeric value.

Personally, I usually prefer LGPL 2.1 (only 2.1!), MIT and ISCL, but for such a 
small tool I don't care, so we can use Apache License.

This is an idea that Mechtilde and I had already discussed on 
dev...@openoffice.apache.org and I think it could be useful if done properly. 
Doing it spontaneously will not lead to success, as negative experiences from 
the OpenOffice.org project should have shown us.
I would therefore like to take up this idea in a new thread to discuss it 
systematically. Please be patient for a few days until I open this thread - I 
have to think about it first.

The 'extension mechanism' offers clear possibilities for this, but they are 
rarely used in practice because the technical effort for small extensions is 
relatively high. In practice, this is therefore often done manually directly in 
the macro.
