Over at Computerworld, Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols is reporting that, perhaps unsurprisingly, Oracle does not plan to work with the new Document Foundation and LibreOffice project. "As for The Document Foundation's offer for Oracle to work with them on streamlining and improving the OpenOffice development process, [Oracle public relations said]: 'The beauty of open source is that it can be forked by anyone who chooses, as was done [by The Document Foundation]. Our sincerest goal for OpenOffice is that it becomes more widely used so, if this new foundation will help advance OpenOffice and the Open Document Format (ODF), we wish them the best.'"
