Apache co-founder calls for "neutral" open source community work
----------------------------------------------------------------
"The move follows a decision by Sun Microsystems Inc to base its
StarOffice desktop productivity suite, which is finding increased
support against Microsoft Corp's Office, on APIs from the open source
OpenOffice suite. Behlendorf claimed 80% of OpenOffice.org's work is
done by Sun "but the other 20% [of the community] need something
neutral."

Behlendorf said the strength of Projects like ASF and OpenOffice is
they can deliver infrastructure products, leaving vendors to implement
the software and provide support. "There is a good church versus state
balance we can follow," he said."
