> and would OOo development cease then? I have never completely grasped the ownership of OOo. I know it was originally developed by a German company, bought by Sun, and then somehow it became a free download. And regular programmers who have nothing to do with Sun contribute code. And support is also provided by the community. Yet Sun sells a StarOffice package that is, if I understand correctly, basically OOo with some proprietary enhancements and corporate support. So if IBM buys Sun, can it then declare that OOo will no longer be free? I'm not saying they would, I'm just curious about who has the rights to it. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
