This is indeed really good. Now, if IBM really throws in the code from Lotus
Symphony, we'll have to be prepared, as some journalists might change their
stance... Although probably not :slight_smile:

Best,

Charles.

Hi :slight_smile:
I thought the GPL, LGPL & MPL were all much more permissive than the Apache
licenses? I thought the whole point of OpenSource was that it is
contra-intuitive. By insisting on intellectual freedoms, ideas are able to
build on each other more easily.

It would be nice to know what it might mean in practical terms... Throwing in the code might imply a huge dump of files which have little or no meaning at all (see what happened with OOo files from Oracle). In any case, we should be prepared to react, but I don't think that IBM will throw anything before all OOo code is there.

Hi :slight_smile:
1 thing it definitely would mean is a lot more articles about us, or at least
discussing LibreOffice and TDF.

Do people here add comments to the bottom of these articles to help get the
articles "bumped up" within whichever place publishes the article? It's an
excellent way of correcting the inevitable inaccuracies? I try to take care not
to be excessive but i'm sure a couple wouldn't hurt.
