Far be it for me to speak on behalf of the TDF, but I would think access here means "freedom or ability to obtain, make use of, or participate in something" [Legal Dictionary: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/access?r=75] (In this case, of course, "something" would be "office productivity tools," or more specifically, LibreOffice).
There are many other definitions of Access on that page that would also work, such as... - the right or privilege to approach, reach, enter, or make use of something - permission, liberty, or ability to enter, approach, communicate with, or pass to and from a place, thing, or person - the state or quality of being approachable - to make contact with or gain access to; be able to reach, approach, enter, etc. - the opportunity or right to see or approach someone Jason Corfman [email protected] - www.corfyscorner.com ---------------------------------------------- Take back the Internet! www.getfirefox.com and www.getthunderbird.com ---------------------------------------------- Get Legal - Get LibreOffice http://www.libreoffice.org Linux user #384496 - Ubuntu User #15390 On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 4:28 PM, Johannes A.
