(keeping politics apart) The Office Suite market is very competitive and we want to be commercially friendly if we want to have success. Furthermore we are providing an API specifically so that commercial guys use it. Forcing developers to make available the source in order to be listed is not very commercial friendly. I am sure we can find someone else that can host those files, and if some sort of ad supported service is provided that's OK too. With time we may even offer some sort of certification seal if that helps attract developers and users. cheers, Pedro.
