TDF could be give up these copyleft licences. Maybe, we could create a petition to ask this LibO, please bring back to AL v2 licence :-)

That choice of license was very unfortunate, and a regrettable barrier to cooperation between the projects. When LO split off they could have kept the Apache license and the potential for future cooperation. For most of my career, the only way I had of earning a living was writing software. The FSF's basic philosophy is that programmers should have no right to own and control the products of their labor. That does not seem very free to me. For that reason, I'll never donate my labor to anything that uses their licenses. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
