Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: Oracle contributes OOo Code to Apache Software Foundation'sIncubator

Delivering sermons to LibreOffice after being humbled by the same community
which you and some corporates didn't even bothered to even hear out, I am
sure you know that OOo has not been accepted as an Apache project yet. So
stop lecturing what we should do , anywayz you guys won't even know when the
Big Daddy changes his mood and you guys are left chewing words.

As for aspersions regarding the name, I am sure that you know that most of
the Linux distros which power >90% of world's linux machines have already
accepted LO and you guys can go ahead and curse the BIG Daddy ...


Thank You
