No, they aren't. He said "as far as I know" - he obviously didn't know about you. Therefore, at the time of writing the article, his statement was a true one. He was not aware of any amateur contribution to the OOo codebase. If he did not provide the caveat "As far as I know" then, yes, a retraction would be in order. But he did, so it isn't. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ Because everyone loves free software!
