It is my understanding that the openoffice.org web site content is not a subject of the Oracle grant. Although the ASF now has custody of the domains, there is no content grant.
The explicit licenses on content there continue to apply. My personal preference would be to continue on ODF Authors so long as what is developed is a derivative of work already there. Whether republishing directly on openoffice.org becomes appropriate or not can be resolved when the time comes. Also, if ODFAuthors were not to be perpetuated, it might be necessary to host it elsewhere, still not necessarily on ASF servers. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Keith N.
