Thanks Thomas, We are involved in the HSQLDB side of the integration project on the HSQLDB .
The next version of OOo will use the next version of HSQLDB as its default database engine and store the database in its file. (It will still be possible to use other databases). The licensing issue is the 'advertising clause' in the Hypersonic license. If the Hypersonic Development Group removes this clause, then there will be no problem shipping HSQLDB with OOo. Otherwise, there will be a separate download. This is the main point where there has been criticism of the choice of HSQLDB. Please read the following for more information. http://dba.openoffice.org/miscellaneous/dba20.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00547.html Fred Toussi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Mueller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 25 August 2004 13:00 Subject: [Hsqldb-developers] OpenOffice 2.0 integration / license issues? Hi, I just read in a german article that OpenOffice 2.0 may support / suggest to use HSQLDB: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/50364 http://www.amt-wiesbaden.de/downloads/OOo_20_Vorschau.pdf That is great. However, it seems due to license issues the integration at packaging level seems not possible at the moment (separate download necessary). I think it would be great if OpenOffice would ship with HSQLDB! What do you think? Was anybody contacted by the OpenOffice team (about license issues or otherwise)?
