Hi Dan,
[...]
I understand this as a strong vote for dropping the SISSL license to make a joint effort of the Mac Teams possible again. Is this also the opinion of the complete NeoOffice Team or just your's ? I really would like to try to move something here in Sun if I'd have the commitment of the NeoOffice Team to have some backing to do so.
Patrick and Ed are (IMHO understandably) quite reluctant to re-license the NeoOffice code, since that means that any company can take the code and reuse it _without_ _contributing_ _back_. That is the main problem here. Ed and Patrick have put so much of their own time and money into NeoOffice, that they are unwilling to let a company take their code, close-source it, and use it under the SISSL license, which would be completely possible if the code were brought back into the OpenOffice.org tree and CVS.
I hope that clears up a few things.
Dan
Martin
