I am involved in both copyleft and non-copyleft projects and write this as a member of the Open Source community in the broad sense.
Some people wrote that the only option to make OpenOffice.org / LibreOffice code legally usable within IBM Lotus Symphony is to use a non-copyleft license such as ASL2. That does not seem to be true: I suppose IBM could make Lotus Symphony source code available under a license which is compatible with LGPL3. I also notice that IBM currently does not sell Lotus Symphony but makes binaries available for free: http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/symphony So my question to IBM is: Are you willing to consider open-sourcing IBM Lotus Symphony (even if only parts of it) ? If yes: which licenses would IBM be willing to consider ? If those questions have already been answered than forgive me, there are a lot of mails to read regarding the OpenOffice.org / Apache Incubator proposal ;-) Cheers, Andreas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
