I see no problem in that statement, as it is just what you say: honest.

But a mail before you wrote:
> ... There are people who see TDF's resistance to working with the ASF ...

I do not see, that this resistance really exists for two reasons:

1st
It is up to the individuals to bring a project forward, so the TDF as 
abstract entity would do very abstract work only. If you have a look at 
the recent discussions, you may notice that many TDF members already 
gave a lot of input and helped Apache to make a good decision. I 
personally would consider this as "working together" (at least as a 
first step).

2nd
I hope I'm allowed to be as honest as you are. I don't feel that ASF is 
"the best place" for the OOo trademark and source code. But I still 
consider Apache as "a good place" - so imho we are at a quite even level 
(unless you want to tell that TDF would be a really "bad" place for the 
OOo assets ;) ).


regards,

André

(PS.: same rule here as at the Apache lists: I'm speaking as individual 
- not as "TDF")
