Hello guys; As announced in several media, Openoffice will be starting the process to become an Apache Project. This means the license will now be Apache 2.0, which is a great step for those of us that think that software freedom doesn't necessarily mean copyleft, but it also means the process of contributing to the project will be much more transparent and cleaner now. While the libreoffice guys plan to continue to work on their fork and I have no intentions to demerit their work, it seems like the best way to keep our changes in sync with both groups would be to contribute them directly to Apache Openoffice. For the time being I wanted to share a link to IBM's Rob Weir blog that explains better how we could contribute to this effort: http://www.robweir.com/blog/ or just go here http://goo.gl/fb/lqobJ While here, let me also thank you guys for keeping the OO package working so well on FreeBSD! Pedro.
