The code is under the software grant. The issue here is that these extensions rely on GPL libraries, though all related code is now under ALv2: * The MYSQL Connector: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/mysqlc/ * The Report Builder: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/reportbuilder/ (extension code) http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/reportdesign/ (office code) * PDF Import: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/trunk/main/sdext/source/pdfimport/ That is, someone has to build them (and maintain them) as external projects.
