It is Oracle's intent to provide to ASF the files needed to build OOo,
taking into account licensing and ownership issues.
This includes binary artifacts such as the OOo artwork and translation
databases. I am following the discussions here closely,
and I am collected all of the lists that are provided.
In order to execute the standard ASF Software Grant we were required to
come up with an initial list of files, and so the list,
which has been distributed, is exactly that - an initial list.
As previous stated [1][2], Oracle wants to provide what is needed for
the continuity of the OOo project. In terms of svn history
and such, that becomes more of an issue for the podling to decide, and
is discussed in the podling documentation [3].

It seems entirely reasonable, though, to expect Oracle
to provide a firm commitment that they will relicense any and all files in
the repository that they own, including CWS. Sam, does the current
commitment from Apache give that assurance, or is it something we should ask
you to seek?
I will simply state again that it is my expectation that if we make
reasonable requests and that if those requests are within Oracle's
power to fulfill those requests, that we will obtain subsequent
software grants.
