Well, it's more than what IBM had previously stated, that was *nothing*. :-) I'm not a fan of *two* communities and *two *foundations that work on a more or less modified OOo code base. However, having all Oracle OOo assets under the ownership (or other transient agreement) of another open source foundation, it's better than let a brand like "OpenOffice.org" die in Oracle copyright/brands portfolio.
