Look, for reasons that won't ever be aired publically, TDF and Oracle failed to work out amicable terms. Instead they worked out terms with us. We aren't all that picky about new initiatives, that's why we have an incubation process to ferret out sustainable activity from those that aren't.
I'm happy that there are a number of people who still care about the OOo brand that are willing to work here under our rules. For those that aren't, and are more interested in the LO brand, have an appropriate amount of fun. We'd still like you to collaborate with us even if it just means the collaboration is one-way- we're funny like that. If our code improves your project, all we ask is that you respect the license it came with. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Keith Curtis <keit...@gmail.com> > To: general@incubator.apache.org > Sent: Sun, June 5, 2011 5:32:03 PM > Subject: Re: OpenOffice & LibreOffice > > On Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 2:01 PM, Joe Schaefer <joe_schae...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Your input on apache.org lists hasn't impressed anyone with > > your general aptitude or social skill level.
