The ODMA Support showed up in the Novell editions of OpenOffice.org.

I don't think the copyright notice in odma.h should be a problem. What is 
missing is any additional information about the license.  Also not sure why you 
need it if there is no code that uses it in the base distribution.

If you want, I am sure I can make an updated version of the file, clear it with 
Betsy Fanning at AIIM (although that BSD-style license is meant to apply to all 
current code), and post an updated odma.h on the web site.

Is that useful or would I be wasting my time?

Hi,

  as far as I can tell LibreOffice does include ODMA support (the code 
from ucb module plus patches here and there, inluding special file 
dialogs and the like), vanilla OpenOffice.org as it can be downloaded 
from download.openoffice.org definitely never did. The former speaks for 
not completely removing ODMA files, just to "ban" odma.h from the ucb 
source module.

  I agree that improving WebDAV and introducing CMIS support should have 
higher priority than fixing ODMA.

- Kai.
