Not type O.
I think it depends on who is the donor and who is the recipient in this analogy because there is code flowing in both directions, but my point here is that the Linux kernel situation is more pragmatic in that it works with code of multiple licenses. I just want you to think about sharing bug lists. Etc. LibreOffice has your latest code already integrated, I believe. Given LibreOffice's success, and the fact that it has just built everything you need, this has the potential to cause confusion and wasted efforts. You can do an infinite amount of proprietary or Apache software on top of LibreOffice. I think some should think about building Notes and Symphony on top LibreOffice. That is plenty of work and will provide big benefits. -Keith --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
