I would say that Openoffice fills a niche market, that being that it's more permissively licensed than Libreoffice

- zbowling 13y agoyeah, Oracle changed the license before releasing to be incompatible with LibreOffice. Jenkins and Hudson is other misstep. After the hudson fallout which make Jenkins, they gave Hudson to Eclipse to maintain.
- vamega 13y agoIt's not really incompatible with LibreOffice. The difference is that you OO.o can't take code from LibreOffice, but code from OO.o can find it's way into LO without any issues.
- binarycrusader 13y agoOpenOffice is now owned by the Apache Software Foundation; don't you think the Apache Software Foundation wanted to be able to release under the Apache License? Complaining about the license being incompatible is a bit silly; the choice of license by the Apache Software Foundation should not be a surprise.
- synchronise 13y agoIt's not incompatible, that's just what the shills want you to think.
