Don't misquote, please.Don't misquote, please.Posted May 29, 2007 5:02 UTC (Tue) by khim (guest, #9252)In reply to: compromise view by bronson Parent article: What Microsoft and Novell agreed to
If you'll go to the link supplied you'll see that correct line is Novell "Forking" OpenOffice.org - there are quotes around the word forking. And the press-release clearly says "Novells OpenOffice.org" so it's not PJ's invention either. It's still not clear if Novell will try to add Open XML to OpenOffice.org or if it'll create separate Novell's edition with this support embedded. There are saying: "don't stop to tie shoe-laces in the middle of neighbor's plantation". Novell clearly did just that: even if his intentions were pure (and that's sill unclear) they were presented in such a way as to look highly suspicious. And PJ guessed the worst. We all had no idea what the actual goal of agreement is (we still don't) so how can you blame her ?
