Oracle planned to move OO.o to JavaFX https://audioboom.com/boos/26971-javaone-live-it-s-official-larry-ellison-loves-javafx-and-open-office http://www.devx.com/blog/2009/06/ellison-hints-at-oracles-java.html Two day later Gavin Clarke at the usual suspects was already twisting and FUD'ging that announcement into somehow bad news http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/06/04/ellison_javafx_commitment/ If ORCL had succeeded w that move, today we'd have OpenOffice on Android devices, for instance. http://www.itworld.com/article/2761460/enterprise-software/what-we-know-about-oracle-cloud-office--openoffice-org.html And it isn't the first time Gavin Clarke or ElReg engaged in ugly FUD. Most of his statements on the above article about JavaFX not being open were BS. JavaFX 2.0 is today under a GPL license as part of OpenJFX. but the OO.o freedom fighters *sarcasm* wanted to pull the rug from under ORCL's feet. http://pages.citebite.com/e7v0f3m9sder And they succeeded, with the killing of StarOffice -a successful product which had made inroads in many corporations- as a byproduct of that move. And it started years before the Oracle acquisition of Sun Microsystems, the move started when the project was under Sun control. http://techrights.org/2008/10/12/microsoft-novell-hijack-openoffice/ Why do we continue to let trolls pull our leg? The continuous whining from LO trolls who just want the OO brand name so they can get the site traffic and downloads that AOO has on Windows is getting tiresome, if you ask me. Dear LO trolls: Go away. FC -- During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act - George Orwell
