I see, I have to get used to this license issues (a long time ago I believed open source was just open source, then I joined an apache project).
never mind. Would it be to our advantage if we offered third party developers (that is how I see extension developers) the possibility to register a language file and get it translated as part of the language packs ? Or should we just say extension developers does not concern us (and help AOO get more used) so we just look the other way ? Maybe the right way is somewhere in the middle. jan.
