I don't think it meets these: - It duplicates apps already in the App Store, particularly if there are many of them (iWork) - It creates a store inside itself for selling or distributing other software (extensions) - It is not packaged and submitted using Apple’s packaging technologies included in Xcode – No third party installers are allowed (I thought this was a major goal of LibO) And I don't know whether it meets this one: - It has metadata that mentions the name of any other computer platform I do find it bizarre that people are so up in arms about OOXML but seem to have no complaints with Apple's blatant attempts to have total control over the software you are allowed to install on your own computer. -Todd -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
