Apache OpenOffice 4.0 has no planned release date. What can LibreOffice gain from this news? As far as I know, LO could take up the symphony code either directly or through Apache. Yes, the Apache license is less restrictive, so AOO code can be integrated into LO, but not the other way around unless the contributing author in LO grants the more permissive license to AOO. I think that numerous bug fixes from Symphony have already been integrated into AOO, many of these related to DOCX import if I remember correctly. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
