Well that would obviously be preferred, we were just trying to go for the shortest time to implement/deploy (path of least resistance, if you will). Is there a formalized mechanism for suggesting features such as this? I'm not familiar enough with the development model to know if its possible to develop something as an extension and be able to significantly reuse the code in the standard installation. > > Reason: If I attach a license to my document, I want that everybody is > aware of that when opening the doc, not just people who have the extension. > > License must be contained in the document container, and OOo might show > a little symbol in the status bar, like for a signed document. Right; I guess if it weren't integrated into the standard installation, it would be desirable for the license metadata to survive document manipulation by people who do not have the extension installed. > > But I didn't look deeper into the details right now... > > Malte. > > Nathan R.
