Hi Charles
But once again Laurent: OOo needs money wether you want it or not....
i think that instead of guessing what Laurent has in mind (even on
semi-public irc discussion he is not invited in ...) we should first
state widely publically and officially why OOo needs money and first
organize the OOo project as an employer
Speaking about foundation, i sincerelly think that mozilla one is an
example and does mozilla foundation
- charge for extensions visibility ?
- charge companies doing xul development ?
i personnally really think that seeing extensions as cash flow provider
is a mistake - speaking about commercial companies (that's their
problem) but (and that's our domain) also for OOo. We will loose
contributors and finally end with 2 levels OOo software: the default
free (as idea and speech) one and the extended-added-value-propriatary one
so you're wrong, i'l totally open to any for-profit regarding OOo (for
self funding purposes) but this needs organisational prerequisits that
are not met at the moment and will not covered by the kopecks recolted
though the extension way ...
of course , all of that, IMHO
Laurent
