I don't know, but even without it we're exposed to the Sun-MS patent deal that was only covering StarOffice. Software patents are a shame, and ought to be fought, so in our case it's cholera or malaria you're choosing... Best, Charles.

In the short term, nothing changes. In the medium term what the effect is, bad, neutral or good is unclear. Either way - development-wise, LibreOffice is doing really extremely well with non-Novell developers right now; so whatever happens should not affect our viability as a project. I hope that helps, Michael. -- michael.me...@novell.com , Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
