RE: [tdf-discuss] Re: [Libreoffice] Proposal to join Apache OpenOffice

Why is that a poor picture?

I am confident that some users choose Open/LibreOffice distributions for ideological reasons.

I also think many adopt software because they have a need that it satisfies in their use of it in 
creating and interchanging documents and the FOSS assurance has little meaning for them.  It simply 
is not relevant in their world.

What's poor about that?

Is it more important that LO be a political weapon than it be useful to people who have work to do?

Painting quite a poor picture of end users? Are they really like that?
Or do we say so to support our argument?
