Hi John,

To Nicu: How many users do you think they will lose when they switch?
People who have files in OOo format that they have made for quite some
time, will NOT be able to use the new format, it seems! Are they going
to allow for that with a conversion of some sort? :-(
the file format OOo implements and uses it not maintained by OOo, but by
an organization called OASIS, please review:

The change of license has absolutely nothing to do with the file format.
Best regards,
Peter

All:
a) Is OOo going to switch to LGPL 3.0, or will stay with
LGPL 2.1?
This is ultimately Sun's decision, thy can make it grace to the JCA.
The community *may* have a word and influence this decision (either
way, to stay or switch but I am afraid this will be a politic decision
in the end, made by the top management)
b) What will happen to code that is submitted using the LGPL
3.0 licence?
3.0 is incompatible with 2.1, so obviously, code under this license
can't be accepted.
I guess contributing a lot of valuable new code under 3.0 can be a
good way to influence a switch decision from Sun.
