I am unsure whether OOo4kids contributes anything of its own technology
back to OOo.
My advice : when you are unsure, do not post, because what you wrote
is plain wrong, and FUD.
I'll explain why :
- first, OOo4Kids does use LGPL V3 License**, fully compatible with
OpenOffice.org source code, itself under LGPL V3 too. If anybody is
interested to port any code we wrote into OpenOffice.org, we (OOo4Kids
contributors) would be very pleased to accept the (back)port. Sincerlily.
=> technology contribution is possible
**to verify : the menu entry "License", is available from *anywhere* in
all OOo4Kids applications, and you can read: "OOo4Kids is released under
LGPL V3".
- second : I *clearly* proposed a backport from *any* code several
times, and I don't know why, but was not accepted. In fact, the issue
look similar with Novell and go-oo, because both are under LGPL V3, but
the changes are not accepted by Sun / Oracle.

=> again technology contribution is possible
- third, on the OOo4Kids wiki page ( http://wiki.ooo4kids.org ), it is
clearly written everything is done to contribute back to OpenOffice.org,
through OOo4Kids. Of course not everything can be backported (we cannot
ask the students to provide professionnal code), but if a feature, a new
idea desserves it, we'll ask/propose a backport. This is one of the
objectives of OOo4Kids : having Fun providing new devs and new code.
=> again technology contribution is possible
- last, as proof of our goo will, after I asked to EducOOo C.A.) it was
proposed that EducOOo,reverses money to the OpenOffice.org project.

=> other type of contribution is possible
My conclusion is there is absolutely nothing against OpenOffice.org with
OOo4Kids, excepted in your imagination.
Therefore I don't think it's a good idea to even consider it.
I read everything carefully, and in your mail, I only can retrieve
negative things, and unjustified attacks against OOo4Kids (and
undirectly me).
IMHO OpenOffice.org needs people who produce "solid" results, like code
with core developers, or volunteers providing "mesurable contributions",
but not people with a "destructive role" like the one you seem to play.
I don't have more time to spend with you. EOT for me, and welcome in my
/ignore mode.
