And it's usually so much easier to take. Steve jobs had a famous quote about that that I don't remember very well ;-). > I don't want anyone to get the idea that > LibreOffice will be based on > AOOI, and that this is going to be the rule. It's rather interesting that for AOO the OpenOffice.org legacy is essential. We are different from OOo in the freedom given by the Apache License but otherwise we are the continuation of the SUN/Oracle legacy. LibreOffice instead seems to be more interested in showing independence from what would seem to have been the past "oppressive" Oracle/SUN regime. Again Steve Jobs had a good quote for this "It's more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy." And then all this independence is somewhat fake in that LibreOffice seems condemned to carry OpenOffice.org LGPL3 headers unless they get new headers from AOO. Just thinking out loud :-P. Pedro.
