Go-oo - a true OpenOffice.org fork?Go-oo - a true OpenOffice.org fork?
[Development] Posted Jul 29, 2008 12:56 UTC (Tue) by corbet
The longstanding ooo-build project would appear to have matured into a project called Go-oo, and that, in turn, increasingly looks like a fork of OpenOffice.org. "We believe that copyright assignment to a single corporate entity opens the door for substantial abuse of the best-interests of the codebase and developer community. As such, we prefer either eclectic ownership (cf. Mozilla, GNOME, KDE, Linux), or an independent, meritocratic foundation (cf. Eclipse, Apache) to own the rights." See this page for Go-oo features not (yet) found in OpenOffice.org.
