No. It's not. The changes introduced in that one are introduced by Microsoft affiliates with a bad history on standards and licensing. There is a good reason it was forked. Personally, I would like to see Oracle move to GPLv3. For us that would be useful, for Oracle, a few of its competitors' management teams would blow out blood vessels. Even without GPLv3, OpenOffice.org is LGPLv3, so it is possible (in principle) to pick up and move on should it become necessary. As far as addressing the problem of software patents, v3 does that. /Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org
