That is One reason why I think a fork will get a lot more code back.
[Think of OOo 3.0 as sponsored by Sun, and TokiKantoor 1.0 sponsored
by the general FLOSS community.]
And for Christian, I'll point out that using OOo in South Africa
violates the Legal Code there. Yet Sun has point blank refused to make
the changes that are required to makes its usage legal.
[At least the relevant passage was moved from the "subversive acts of
terrorism", which is where it was originally placed, allegedly, by
accident.]
