If I have to explain to someone what "LibreOffice" means, it's easy: "Libre means free, as in liberty or freedom."
If I have to explain what "OpenOffice.org" means, it's a much bigger problem, even without the complication of the ".org" part. Most people have never heard of "open source" or "open standards" or "open" anything else. How to explain it in less than ten words? And even if I do, most people don't care, don't understand why they should care, and think I am one of those geek fanatics for even talking about it. They shake their heads and go away. But "free, as in liberty" they can understand. They are interested, enough for me to say "you can make as many copies as you like, and give it away; it's all legal, no hassles." It's a good name. --Jean -- To unsubscribe, send an empty e-mail to [email protected] All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.
