Ooo/LibO are a means to use OpenDocument, not the reverse (1). And those who should sue are citizens and governments, not the open source community. (1) see "OpenDocument first. Always" at http://stop.zona-m.net/2010/11/three-things-to-not-forget-to-make-libreoffice-and-odf-succeed/
I think we are largely in agreement already. Thank you for the link to your web page. Passionate writing and spot on. As for me, I use OO (soon, perhaps: LibO) and MO interchangeably. I save all my important personal and business files in .odt etc. format, and offer to my clients that they can receive their files in .odt format. Nevertheless, both reading and writing .docx etc. will remain a necessity for some time. Too bad that the EU is not coming down hard on Microsoft to lay open .docx etc. One can only speculate about the reasons -- departure of hard-charging antitrust lawyers from the Commission perhaps? -- but the awesome powers of the Commission are unfortunately not being utilized at the moment. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/what-comes-first-ODF-or-OOo-LibO-was-European-Commitee-enter-talks-with-MS-licences-Please-make-your-tp2789014p2789704.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+help@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
