Well, that's only my own opinion, but ... a "company" such as OOo should never take a vengeful stance on anything. Firm and concise, yes, but not with vengence. Now, if it were ME, or you, perhaps a little venceance might go a long ways, but ... I would think a lot less of any organization that went about vengefully confronting anything.
