OpenOffice graduates from the Apache IncubatorOpenOffice graduates from the Apache IncubatorPosted Nov 2, 2012 21:29 UTC (Fri) by Zizzle (guest, #67739)In reply to: OpenOffice graduates from the Apache Incubator by aristedes Parent article: OpenOffice graduates from the Apache Incubator
Because the whole AOO episode was a f-you to the already existing and vibrant LibreOffice project and community.
I do want them to fail. I want LibreOffice to be the only OOo offshoot.
Why have the duplication in effort over a license difference that is to allow a large corporation to plunder the code for their closed source efforts?
LibreOffice's weak copyleft license (and truth be told the debacle of AOO and the coroprate shilling that occurred) inspired me to contribute to LO.
So I guess at least once good thing has come out of it.
