Ok, information overflow. I know we're early in the stage, but I'm a bit unsure about what I should tell people. I see a lot of possibilities with ASF on board and as the web expertise is strong in that camp, also the realisation of some dreams. I dunno too much about ASF licensing, but how different will it be from the current situation? Several have pointed out IBM Symphony, which indeed contain elements from OOo, as a culprit. But the LGPL allows that, and to me that doesn't sound too far from ASF licensing. And after reading a lot of your e-mails, I'm convinced about OOo still being a viable base for several projects adapting the code to their own taste, even if we don't quite agree on the licenses. I think the most important bit is that they're compatible with each other, which to me sounds quite feasible. I also find the possibility of IBM among other users actually contributing to the source and publicly announcing their support highly intriguing too. I'm involved in more than one project basing its software on this code base. So I'm not only speaking as an LibreOffice contributor here. I think we can indeed come to a mutual agreement benefiting all parties here. However, I didn't say it will be easy...
