Hi Sophie,
Thanks for your mail; I agree - this particular dead-end of the thread
got a little unpleasant & highly charged; I'm well up for killing it.

Is there a link to a copy of that somewhere ? (or is the thinking going
on on a public mailing list ?).

I think I'm missing something here. Is there a public statement
anywhere that means discussing the unbalanced ownership problems, that
(clearly) substantilly impeed Novell's involvement (and that of other
developers) is fruitless ?
Are you aware of any such statement, or indication from Sun, that says
this problem is un-solvable; whatever the community wants ?
Of course, such a statement might shut down such discussion pretty
quickly, but I havn't seen any clear public statement of that form.
Indeed, I've not seen many clear, black & white statements about the
compromises necessary to accomodate our major sponsor's business
interest (which is of course necessary to some degree) inside the
project; and what plans there are for the future here.

So - I think we were getting there - we'd finally got past some of the
more basic, emotive, low-level arguments, and were starting to
communicate; at least mba & I seemed happy:
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=21708
clearly no-one wants to shut down a whole discussion on a topic like
this, (and without a conclusion) on the basis of a few sub-threads
unfortunately disappearing off into the long grass.
I've renamed my reply to remove the odious Butler :-) would be a good
move; perhaps as/when we continue other discussions to do the same.
Thanks,
Michael.
