LPC: Michael Meeks on LibreOffice and code ownership

no seriously. bsd gives any party equal rights to the code. ca gives only the priviledged party said rights. Imagine Mysql had been under the bsd rather than CA. The former owner would now have the right to still use it in any way he wants. Now the copyright rests with oracle and he whines, err, complains that he can't use his code anymore. That's quite a difference.
