Oracle proposes donating OpenOffice.org to Apache Software Foundation

It does remind me of the ill-fated "Harmony" initiative,
also a push by IBM towards Apache. That too was positioned
to "unite", but ended up pushing away all the existing
community around the GNU implementations.

But something good came out of that exercise after all.
The biggest issue was the incompatibility between ASLv2 and GPLv2.
It was a big driver for making sure the Apache license and GPLv3 were
compatible, to prevent such a silly issue to be used to drive a wedge
between communities.

LibreOffice has already switched to LGPLv3, so it is automagically
compatible with ASLv2. So at least the code can keep flowing towards
wherever the active community wants it to be.
