Yes. I had gone over that page, too…. and it seemed inconclusive, ie, I'm not a lawyer. What we want to do… up to what developers want, no? Personally, I think if it makes sense to pursue this avenue, and it's also kind of interesting, and a challenge, and could also bring in other developers and contributors, then why not? This would especially be so if a Qt application (whatever that would mean in this context) could also then allow for a smooth transition between mobiles and desktops. (Corinthia is of course working on related technology, but from a different angle.) I think to move ahead on this we just… do it? And ask Apache legal for guidance? louis > >> >> >> >> >>> >>> -- Bye, >>> >>> Yuri Dario >>> >>> >>> >>> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> >>> > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org >>> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org >>> >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> >> > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org >> > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > MzK > > "There's a bit of magic in everything, > and some loss to even things out." > -- Lou Reed > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
