I would like to add this statement to this page, http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/mwiki/index.php?title=OpenOffice.org_Wiki:Copyrights&action=edit

"Content licensed according to the OpenOffice.org license scheme as found at http://www.openoffice.org/license.html";

*sigh* I wish we had a legal project.


I hear you André, but I'm too snowed under at the moment to get anything started, although I firmly believe that the community needs a project like that to sort out these kind of problems. You are correct in stating that if an author publishes his/her work under a particular licence, then that licence can not simply be changed at the whim of someone else without asking each and every author to agree to the change. To do so, is to infringe, at the least, on their moral rights. In addition, any such unnotified change would automatically qualify the author to withdraw his consent. The American community within OOo must understand that copyright is more than an ownership issue over here in Europe.
