We have a standard software grant for substantial portions of
OpenOffice.org.  While such records are private to the foundation, ASF
members such as yourself are welcome to review such.  To assist you in
finding such, the name of the file in svn is "oracle-openoffice.pdf".

We know up front that this is not 100% of the code.  There is much
work to be done during incubation.

Relicensing, replacement, and inclusion in accordance to our policy
are all options.

The answers to these questions are not known at this time, and will
need to be resolved before exiting incubation.
