I thought people might be interested in this link. It seems the RMS wants to fork OpenOffice.org due to its reliance on JDK.
Thoughts,

See:
http://www.fsf.org/news/open-office-java.html
I'm planning to follow up on this news in an article for Newsforge. Does anybody have any comments they would like to make?
I had an interesting conversation with Richard Stallman. seems he is backing off of the fork idea. Seems he has made the decision to help OOo work with a 'free' java implementation rather than fork OOo. I think this is the better way to go, and hopefully he will continue down this path rather than a fork.
I note that Mr Stallman has revised his page at http://www.fsf.org/news/open-office-java.html at it no longer implies a call for a fork, rather a request for help with GCJ.
