Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Weblog extension not working in 4.1?
Hi :) The chances are that they will be really happy to hear that people do like and enjoy using their Extension. If they are able to make time to fix it for the newer versions of LibreOffice then they are likely to do so. It might mean they need 1 version for AOO and another for LO so it's getting to the stage where it would be good for them to license their Extension under a GPL, MPL, LGPL or other suitable copyleft agreement so that other people could modify their code and join in with maintaining it. Any idea what license it currently uses?

Any idea what license it currently uses? Regards from The only place I could see the weblog extension available for download was here : http://extensions.openoffice.org/fr/project/sun-weblog-publisher Now, as the original poster mentioned, this is the Sun weblog extension, i.e. originally built and provided by Sun when it was running the OOo development. So, unless the ownership has somehow been transferred to someone else, how is it likely that Sun are going to be interested in fixing something which they no longer support ? One look at the comments on the page above indicates that the extension has a long history of incomplete or faulty functionality. There is no reason to assume that any one will be fixing anything anytime soon, unless, as I indicated, the people over at AOO have decided to take over responsibility for the extension (which doesn't seem to be the case from what I have read in past exchanges on the AOO list). It is therefore unlikely that this extension is going to get fixed over there. Now, if the original poster got the extension via their Linux distributor, then it is up to the distro to fix it (or not, as the case may be, depending on their interest in it).
