Agreed. Personally, I use OOo sparingly, as I prefer Google Docs. My interest is largely spurred by the attraction of being able to apply ALv2 to this awesome piece of software. I believe that will be a *huge* enabler for the software world. It is vanishingly rare to have such a situation. "Epic" might be a good word :-) ... and who *doesn't* want to be part of something like that?
