Formally, and form is important in this matter, TDF *will be* a new 
legal entity that Oracle could want to join. And an offer in such sense 
has been made.

An official answer is still missing.

Among gentlemen, any question needs an answer, doesn't it?

Well, I wouldn't have gone public with LibO project without having the 
legal structure of the Foundation in existence, because its absence 
generates several practical problems in these months, but that's just my 
opinion, of course.

Nevertheless, the initial wait without resigning from OOo Community 
Council and other offices, it's perfectly coherent, IMO, with that 
initial approach and request.

And that request *had* to be done, because of Oracle's role in OOo 
project, although the answer, now implicit in its actual actions, was 
rather foreseeable by everybody, anyway.
