Hi all In the sequence of this topic at the Marketing list http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Open-Xchange-to-launch-open-source-browser-based-office-suite-tp4045197.html
I share Simon Phipps' concern that the company announces a GPL Open Source office suite which is not free for commercial use??? Is this even possible under GPL? This just spreads further confusion on how free Open Source software really is... Another sentence that worries me is "Microsoft Word .docx files and OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice .odt files" This is bad marketing and bad public image that ODT seems to be proprietary of OpenOffice and LibreOffice. And yet I don't see any concerns about this in the topic commenting the news article. Shouldn't TDF be championing the ODF open formats or is this an OASIS job? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Open-source-and-open-formats-tp4045522.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
