Hi,

I don't know whether this has come up on the general user list because I'm not 
subscribed, but I imagine at least some here have seen this recent article in 
Fortune :

Anyone from Sun Legal ou there ? Thought not :-) 
Now, we can all just sit around guffawing (which is what we generally do 
anyway when a senior position at MS opens their mouths) or we, as a 
community, can actually take this seriously, and try to elaborate a response 
or at least deign to think about it.

Let's face it, Sun Legal must know which bits of code were accused of being 
infringing patents in StarOffice, and some of that code must be in OOo, since 
in the end a deal was signed to settle all outstanding software patent 
litigation, so is there any chance of a person like myself (who is sworn to 
professional secrecy and bears privilege) getting access to that information 
so I can take a look at it in my spare time ?
