Hi folks,

maybe this is a very stupid question or just a very naive one, but I
assure you that it is in good faith. Is this decision a surprise for
anybody?

Me, I've been seriously asking myself since september 28, every time I
saw some of the TDF founders posting around with an @openoffice.org
address or signature:

how can this guy still use this "hat" in public? Why is Oracle
allowing it?

As Oracle is part of the OpenOffice.org community, it should be bound to the rules established (mainly by Sun Microsystems employees) for the community: initiate votes to remove people they think not to represent the community's will.

If they don't, I can't see how they want to speak for the community.

Oracle is trademark holder and contributor of the main part of the code for OpenOffice.org. But if they behave as owner of the community public reaction will be even more non-ambiguous than now.

Best regards

Bernhard
