2007/4/8, Tom Chilton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I think it is a shame when things like this happen in a way. People
ask over and over on this list for the ability to open .wps files,
but the community seems to have its own agenda so somebody else comes
up with it. Then people ask to open .docx files and somebody else
comes up with it (NeoOffice) then somebody asks for VBA and some....
anyway I think you see where I'm going with this. I appreciate that
OOo have done all the hard work and these mavericks just add one or
two features but it shows its possible and I think it is a shame.
One question though for people in the know... Doesn't the GPL (which
OOo source is released under) state that anyone can modify the source
of OOo as long as this modified source is made available to the
community? I've not checked but I presume that the source to the
PCLinuxOS OOo is available, and so couldn't it quite easily be
incorporated into OpenOffice?

I've probably missed the point somewhere...
Tom


I'm not sure you have. Actually I had the same thoughts (approximately).
