This is a core point of this discussion. I may not contribute to Apache OOo because I don't share their respectful goals, but I may promote and market a "Apache OpenOffice.org" product as far as it's open source and a *complete*, good software. I'm not talking about "philosophies" or "license", but rather about what approach to the market this Apache project will have.
