It is still not clear to me what "YOUR" AOO means. And just to clarify, I'm not a representative of anything, much less Apache. I have used OpenOffice since it was a propietary product dubbed "StarOffice" (v3.1), that came from a small German firm dubbed StarDivision Gmbh, before the Sun Microsystems acquisition and its later release as open source. I then continued using both OpenOffice.org and also purchased StarOffice, to contribute within my means to its development. I believed in the dual-licensing and opensource+commercial version model. That's why I'm backing Apache and AOO. The message you reference is an email I posted to show the kind of anti-AOO articles appearing on the press as of late (just the last 3 of them), not because I agree with them, but because those kind of articles deeply annoy me...
