Not sure if I got it right: You are happy about every Oracle OOo developer, because TDF will certainly grab everything they can get from the OOo repositories and put it into the LO repository. Not hard to not understand, but what about the part "after some time we all can gain from this new situation"? How can OOo gain from this? It's not clear to me how contributions to LO will make their way to OpenOffice.org. For me, it looks very much one-way: LO grabbing a lot of stuff from OOo, but LO not contributing anything to OOo. Can you explain? What are TDF's plans wrt contributions to OOo?
