Hi *, The About dialog (menu Tools - Help - About OOo) on trunk has now a button to display the README, LICENSE and NOTICE; you can try with the following binaries: Win: http://people.apache.org/~arielch/packages/r1389156/win/ Linux 64 bits: http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/
According to http://markmail.org/message/67kwkxcs5fubpua3 the LICENSE has to fulfill some legal requirements and include the other licenses, besides the ALv2. This results in a very large LICENSE file that cannot be completely displayed in the UI inside a MultilineEdit control due to a limitation in the tools String class, see STRING_MAXLEN in tools/inc/tools/string.hxx Possible solutions: a) don't display the license at all, only the README and the NOTICE b) display a stripped down version containing only the ALv2 and a last paragraph telling to read the licenses from other components c) simply add at the end of the text a note telling that the full text can be found in the office installation d) kill the tools String class, and use rtl::OUString everywhere (someone will have to sit down and write the code for this) e) ... <-- another options are welcome Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
