This is exactly the problem, unless you really really care about license there is zero reason to contribute to AOO over LO and many reasons to choose LO. Unless the AOO people get that through their head no amount of recruitment will help them. the AOO codebase is too full of debt to be worth touching.

That's certainly what it looks like from the outside. But since they're asking for help, I want to give them an opportunity to present what it looks like from the inside.

That's why I asked *them*, not the peanut gallery. [sticks out tongue]

If they have a reason other than "share-alike is bad!", it would be interesting to know. And if they can't offer anything else, maybe, just maybe, the ones who can't answer my question will stop to think* what that implies.

Which is *why* I asked them and not the peanut gallery. [evil grin]

* I know, I know. I'm a dirty, stinking optimist.
