How much code is CA free doesn't make a difference - it doesn't change the fact that only Novell is able to licence the whole stuff under proprietary conditions. With regard to our current discussion this is the identical situation as in case of OOo. >> I'm still right with the more important first sentence that you didn't >> comment: creating extensions is a way to contribute to OOo without >> signing an SCA. > > Sure, and it's also a sure way to be condemned to irrelevance, complete > with gut-wrenching pain for the user (as I outlined), and is simply a > non-solution. That's your opinion. I don't believe that (Sun itself does provide functionality as extensions). And as you are doing your own builds anyway where you can include extensions easily - why bother?
