Well... it is written by Oracle... formerly Sun. Extensions developed by Sun (before Oracle came along) were branded with Sun logos/names etc., and when Oracle took control of Sun, the former Sun branded OOo Extensions were rebranded as Oracle... for example http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/PresentationMinimizer used to be called Sun Presentation Minimizer.... and http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/presenter-screen used to be called Sun Presenter Console. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
