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.
