This is on my own time, so nobody needs to worry about being quoted. But, now that you mention it, if I were to claim in print that LibreOffice wasn't a fork, I would receive dozens of people correcting me and calling me ignorant. Anyway, my memory of OpenOffice.org is that it was a rather unhappy project, repressed by Sun. LibreOffice seems to have much better morale and productivity. -- Bruce Byfield 604-421-7189 (on Pacific time) blog: https://brucebyfield.wordpress.com website: http://members.axion.net/~bbyfield/ -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
