Yes, that is correctly described. 
And so I have a problem, because it means sailing under the wrong flag. 

At least that is _my_ opinion. Opinion - no question of right or wrong.

I think there is a difference. When users pay for programming, they have a right
to be programmed for what they pay for.

But how do you guarantee that if the whole process does not take place in the
project? What if the AOO community specific programmed features contradicts?



By the way:
What is your personal opinion as a AOO-PMC member? Does your loyalty first
OpenOffice or Apache?

My problem is that I still until recently believed that all AOO-PMC members are
loyal to OpenOffice, but Dave's statement makes me thoughtful.



Greetings,
Jörg
