Which is why it's stupid to have 2 projects - if everyone just worked on NeoOffice, there wouldn't be a need for "OOo to take from Neo" - since Neo would be the only version of OOo for Mac. The LGPL allows Sun (and others) to make comerical versions of OOo without publishing the source. Since Sun has no interest in making a Mac version of StarOffice (since they haven't made one since they bought StarOffice however many years ago) they shouldn't have a problem with their not being an "official" LGPL'ed OOo for Mac. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ Because everyone loves free software!
