xa me temía que os de oracle non ían por as cousas sinxelas. 2011/6/1 Anton Meixome <[email protected]>

We are governed by > an open, and meritocratic community headed by a diverse interim > Steering Committee, and a vendor neutral Engineering Steering > Committee overseeing development. > > Today we welcome Oracle's donation of code that has previously been > proprietary to the Apache Software Foundation, it is great to see key > user features released in a form that can be included into > LibreOffice. > > The Document Foundation would welcome the reuniting of the > OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice projects into a single community of > equals in the wake of the departure of Oracle. The step Oracle has > taken today was no doubt taken in good faith, but does not appear to > directly achieve this goal. The Apache community, which we respect > enormously, has very different expectations and norms - licensing, > membership and more - to the existing OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice > projects. We regret the missed opportunity but are committed to > working with all active community members to devise the best possible > future for LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org. > > On the bright side, one benefit of this arrangement is the potential > for future-proof licensing. The Apache License is compatible with both > the LGPLv3+ and MPL licenses, allowing TDF future flexibility to move > the entire codebase, to MPLv2 or future LGPL license versions. The > Document Foundation believes that commercially-friendly, copy-left > licensing provides the best path to constructive participation in, and > growth of the project. > > Thus, the event is neutral for The Document Foundation, which - as > always - remains open to every company, individual or foundation that > wishes to participate in co-development. There has never been a better > time to get involved and advance the state of the art in free software > office suites. > > TDF is therefore willing to start talking with Apache Software > Foundation, following the email from ASF President Jim Jagielski, who > is anticipating frequent contacts between the Apache Software > Foundation and The Document Foundation over the next few months. We > all want to offer corporate and individual users worldwide the best > free office suite for enterprise and personal productivity. > > Finally, TDF continue executing on our time-based release plan for > LibreOffice 3.4.0, due out this week, while continuing work on our bug > fix release train, with 3.4.1 due in a months time, as well as ongoing > feature development for our 3.5 release. > > > *** About The Document Foundation > > The Document Foundation has the mission of facilitating the evolution > of the OOo Community into an open, meritocratic and democratic > organization. An independent Foundation is a better reflection of the > values of our contributors, users and supporters, and will enable a > more inclusive, effective, efficient and transparent community. TDF > will protect past investments by building on the achievements of the > first decade, will encourage wide participation within the community, > and will co-ordinate activity across the community. > > *** Media Contacts for TDF > > Florian Effenberger (Germany) > Mobile: +49 151 14424108 - E-mail: [email protected] > Olivier Hallot (Brazil) > Mobile: +55 21 88228812 - E-mail: [email protected] > Charles H.
