Hi Roman,
Completely agree.
A corporation has to be profitable and that is fair. So I'm worried
Online OpenOffice may not be free.
However, they could support it with advertisements and keep it free for
the user. Or charge other companies for support or any other revenue
model which pays for the Research and Design, Development, maintenance
of Online OpenOffice and also gives them profits.
Regards,
Paul
PS Your English is perfectly fine and you are easily understood.

existing online office suites.Why convince oracle guys?IMHO, if you do
that, they would have control of your project, andthat's not a good
thing.A corporation will never control a community, unless there is
noalternative.If you start the project from the community, maybe they
want to supporthim then. But in this case, is already defined who runs
it. If you doso, they undoubtedly will direct and to the side that
suits thecorporation, not the community.Sorry for my bad english. Here,
the same in spanish:EMHO, si tu hicieras eso, ellos tendrían el control
de tu proyecto, yeso no es algo bueno.Una corporación jamás dará el
control a una comunidad, salvo que noquede más remedio.Si comienzas el
proyecto desde la comunidad, tal vez ellos quieranapoyarlo luego. Pero
en ese caso, ya estará definido quien lo dirige. Silo haces de esta
manera, sin dudas lo dirigirán ellos y hacia el ladoque le convenga a
la corporación, no a la comunidad.--
