The open-source Android is being sued by Oracle, Apple's app store rules don't agree with open-source licenses, and all the other mobile operating systems haven't yet reached the level of marketshare that iOS and Android have. *(If TDF was to develop a mobile version though, it'd be nice if it came first for the open-source OS's, like Android and Symbian.)* > jonathon > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ > > iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJM4/RIAAoJEOpnmQXT8Ln/9HMIALxugXaMmfZgJd22eavJuf16 > 99E9dJCseCaCxVMUNhLJy+d/T5ajpFq3Wb8u6Cdx8GSAimnDC6PRrmAPsaZ0Xxtr > 4SRqYZwkeKmMhnl5QB9SfvTstXTvcEdYrclV0aUGo5PMeYil8ggEOq5ku6NKXrsg > 242rw6+G05QQpJz3iRjG8jgEgAp+G57MsKiaS39G6NxbHGMPuPk04qOPagXh58CU > GWYWwaIz4zFIuC7RZuoTwJAoBp93HKDnZKvjtGNp+Qi5n0CVaDm5LhHmNDiARNUT > B2RZhsUKlaHaD0nRwYFl1Oj20w2aK0+IgDmQQyBxqr0uTWPTIXRSjCcWxkrIE1I= > =ZeUr > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > -- > Unsubscribe instructions: Email to > discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org<discuss%2bh...@documentfoundation.org> > Posting guidelines: http://netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html > Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ > *** All posts to this list are publicly archived *** > > -- Unsubscribe instructions: Email to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines: http://netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived ***
