Well, it's more than what IBM had previously stated, that was *nothing*. :-)

I'm not a fan of *two* communities and *two *foundations that work on a more
or less modified OOo code base.

However, having all Oracle OOo assets under the ownership (or other
transient agreement) of another open source foundation, it's better than let
a brand like "OpenOffice.org" die in Oracle copyright/brands portfolio.
