You are missing the context: - the Internship was http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org_Internship - it was payed by Team OpenOffice.org on behalf of the Community Council with community resources - the contributor signed the SCA http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org_Internship#Terms_.26_Conditions This means the Intern owns the copyright on the code she/he wrote. The issue in this case is that Daniel and Eike both contributed code being Oracle employees. Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
