As a longtime OpenOffice.org volunteer (mini-introduction: involved with the OpenOffice.org project since 2003, main contributions in QA, Localization and QA Tools, Italian Project Lead since 2005) I'm happy to see Oracle finally answering questions on public lists. May I ask for a last clarification on the code covered by the Oracle grant? Some observers, like the Document Foundation [1] and Bradley Kuhn [2], seem to imply that the grant will also turn some proprietary software (components exclusive to "StarOffice - Oracle Open Office" perhaps? Or "Oracle Cloud Office"?) into free software: is this the case or, as it seems from the provided file list, all the code covered by the grant is already available as free (LGPL3) software?
