Hi all;
I had an idea that you could offer to let people triple-license their
changes. LibreOffice can become an upstream of Apache with this change. That

Sounds like we'll have to agree to disagree.

The problem with building a reader is that it would be about the same size

Hi;
This should probably be on the UX mailing list. Also are you developing this
