Hi :) Google do seem to be a bit evil and unsupportive sometimes. Oddly they were on the Advisory Board for TDF when they removed ODF support for their products! - or sometime around then. Apple were based on BSD, a brother/sister to Gnu&Linux, but went off in a proprietary/secretive direction. "Google Summer of Code" and many of their other things are great but they definitely tend to do odd things at others. Regards from a Tom :)
