Delivering sermons to LibreOffice after being humbled by the same community which you and some corporates didn't even bothered to even hear out, I am sure you know that OOo has not been accepted as an Apache project yet. So stop lecturing what we should do , anywayz you guys won't even know when the Big Daddy changes his mood and you guys are left chewing words.
As for aspersions regarding the name, I am sure that you know that most of the Linux distros which power >90% of world's linux machines have already accepted LO and you guys can go ahead and curse the BIG Daddy ...
