I've always been interested in pushing things like this forward ;-) Hi Per, let me Cc two MSI packaging experts to comment on patchability experiences. Regarding Linux - I skipped most of the discussion, but really - you do *not* want to bypass the distro update mechanism. You really don't. It's duplicating effort, will likely not result in any better user experience - and, conversely, will annoy distro people, while we actually want to encourage them to actively participate in LibO development. Cheers, -- Thorsten +1 I'm compiling Croatian version since OOo 2.0. And lately some of linux power users are asking why Croatian version is not available *via distro update mechanism*. I have to admit that they are right despite a will that OOo/LO is available via automatic updates.

Re: [tdf-discuss] [Legalese] Foundation or Group?

It's in progress. We (speaking of OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V. in this case) are happy to be the interim backing for the Foundation activities - but it is not our intention to become the Foundation. Regarding the country - there are several things to be considered, like strength of community (which is very good in France, Italy, Germany), local law (esp. regarding taxes) ... We are currently working on more detailed plans - but we thougt, it was quite unfair to set up a Foundation and tell everyone that's it.

Re: [tdf-discuss] [FAQ] new entries (here: CA/JCA/SCA)
Hi all, I'm Croatian translation coordinator for OOo, and I support The Document Foundation and LibreOffice. I have question on this topic. Is there any possibility that Oracle *can* sue OpenOffice.org contributor who signed a contract about sharing the contributor's copyright only because contributor decide to contribute to LibO with same content, too? For example, I signed contract with Sun Microsystems. Oracle has bought Sun Microsystems. I contribute Croatian translation to OOo. Same content + new translation I contribute to LibO. Can I be sued?

A: Every contributor to OpenOffice.org code has to sign a contract about sharing the contribution's copyright with Oracle. As this agreement can't be retracted it covers all future contributions too. This allows Oracle to behave as the copyright owner, claiming copyright infringement and other legal rights. On the other hand this agreement allows them to release the contribution under any license they want to, including proprietary ones, without the contributor having any right to refuse it. -+-+-+-+-+--+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Best regards Bernhard -- To unsubscribe, send an empty e-mail to discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.
