I'm basically re-posting the answer you got from Kay, in case you didn't see it since you are not subscribed. The Apache License 2 is an ideal solution from the OpenOffice standpoint. See what you think. http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html We are aware of projects re-using our Apache License 2 code and distributing their releases under the MPL or LGPL, so if you are looking for a "liberal" option that is free, open source and that will work for OpenOffice as well as other projects, Apache License 2 surely fits the bill.

doing my little bit
Hello, First off, I’d like to thank you for making your product available for PC users. I would like to contribute to what you are doing in my own odd way. I use gift cards (Visa & MasterCard) to make online purchases, and usually there’s a nominal amount left, which I discard. Instead of throwing the card away with this amount remaining, I’d like to donate it to Open Office (as if making a purchase?). This amount is usually anywhere from just under $1 to $3, and I use at least one card per month. I don’t want to offend anyone, which is why I am asking first. Thanks again for what you do.

Re: Code snippets from oooforum in AOO website?
Top posting. Why do we need any approval? As long as the author of each post is visible, what would be the infringement? This would be archive pages, not editable, exactly like web archives. This is a safeguarding operation. Is there really a mandatory approval from Ed needed? I'm not an expert in IP, anybody would have an idea?

All the talks are paid by companies. I have written earlier, that it did not work out. They wanted me to pay for everything, and even asked if I could bring my own projector. That of course made me politely inform them that I am a volunteer and cannot use a lot of money on such an event. I suggested that they next year, ask the companies to pay a little more, and use that on volunteers, just e.g. a lunch to signal respect of the volunteers.
