Gianluca, Allen,
My doubt comes from the article in the Register and the Groklaw
analysis.
Allen confirmed my suspicions. I understand, then, that contributing
anything now to openoffice means to contribute it to Oracle.
Don't you think that is a bit over-paranoid? I mean Oracle is on a get
out
strategy. If OOo was so valuable how come they didn't actually sell it
off
to someone like IBM for real dollars?
they did best:
Are trying to recruit workers "volunteers" at no cost.
That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Well it would if Oracle had some
business model based on some control over a proprietary strain of OOo but I
just don't see that. IBM yes with Symphony but I don't believe Oracle knows
how to market office productivity tools. In any case they could just use
LibreO if that was all they wanted.
