Hopefully the OOo name will be released for use to this OOo project, if the new owner of the OpenOffice.org name copyright decides not to continue supporting OOo. If that happens, then LibreOffice will be renamed OpenOffice.org so we can keep the name most people know OOo's suite by. Oracle owns the copyright of the name, as I was told, and if they decide that they will not continue to work on this office suite, or their version that Sun was marketing, then Oracle could be nasty and tell this group that the OpenOffice.org name can no longer be used. They can do that if they want. Hopefully they will either support the project or allow LibreOffice development line to use the name, or allow this project to continue on its own and keep the name. I do not know what will happen. Are we going to have to let this branch of the development of the office suite to be cut off because of Oracle, or is it to continue to grow. If cut off, will LibreOffice be able to use the OOo name or will it keep the LibreOffice name? Sun's version of OOo was Star Office? This open source version was OpenOffice.org. Then there were/are other branches like Go-oo, Neo-, and several others I have been told. It is hard to keep up. I have been told that Ubuntu/Debian used Go-oo instead of OOo's Debian version [I wonder about that] and it comes up OpenOffice.org in the splash screen. Will LibreOffice do the same and keep the OpenOffice.org splash screen? It keeps getting more and more confusing. Who has/uses what version, when the splash screen and internal stuff seem to be the same. Maybe someone can post a good message about who [distros] uses which version, and why, plus what the differences between the version are really about. Explain why we should switch between OOo's web site's version to the other ones out there, like Go-oo and LibreOffice. Could anyone re-tell us the URL of the info on getting rid of the default version OOo on Ubuntu/Debian and installing OOo's Debian version. The Application/Menu troubles need more info than just uninstall and the install . . . ., for those not really up on Ubuntu terminal commands. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
