I was thinking more like a takeover of the Open Office codebase since its organization has collapsed. Take over the administration, steering committee, etc.
I can see that the codebases have diverged, but will a lot be lost if Open Office's codebase was clobbered with the LibreOffice sources?
- JohnTHaller 10y agoApache wouldn't permit that due to their distaste for LibreOffice's licensing (read: copyleft).
- rectang 10y agoLibreOffice doesn't like Apache's licensing, but AOO is happy to share the code with them and they are happy to consume it. Both sides have strong beliefs, but the licensing situation benefits the copyleft faction.
