I am astonished by the naïveté of comments like this. I guess you all do not follow LibreOffice's mailing list http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2010-September/thread.html what seems to be the developer's list You can look at the Minutes of first LibreOffice technical group call http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2010-September/000002.html LibreOffice's technical group seems to be basically Go-oo with another name... http://go-oo.org/about/ > > Release all the code, trademarks, everything to OOo back to the > community, currently called LibreOffice. > I'm not sure yet if TDF is the "Community", I did not make up my mind yet. But why should Oracle give up everything to Go-oo under another name? I know nothing about business, but it sounds delirious. Notice that I'm not talking pro-Oracle here, nor against TDF. I'm just remarking something quite obvious, as reading the names of the developer's on a mailing list.... I'm sure people at Oracle can read them too.
