The article only states "Oracle said it was investing substantial
resources in OpenOffice.org.

“With more than 100 million users, we believe OpenOffice.org is the
most advanced, most feature-rich open-source implementation and will
strongly encourage the OpenOffice community to continue to contribute
through www.openoffice.org,” the enterprise software and hardware
giant said in a statement."  With no name or reference to where the
statement can be see.

It has already been cited by Kürti on this list:
http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/msg00282.html

A repeat of the "news article".

Aha. But what you mean? :-)

Just what I said, the message only repeats the same "statement". 
Again no name or reference to where the full "statement" can be
found.

Who made the statement?  What is their position at Oracle?  Anyone can
make a statement but how much weight does that statement carry?

If you take it a face value then there is no way that Oracle is going
to hand over the trademark or anything else to the community that has
helped build it.  Do they actually think that "they" did all the work
to get that 100 million users?  Yet there are some that hold to the
idea.

No, they think they *bought* all the work. They have good reasons to
remain silent. We should accept that, stop thinking about it and go
ahead.
