-1. I think by accepting this ASF is risking quite a lot of flak and reputational damage. We have too much baggage from IBM/Oracle in recent past, to be played like this. Not seeing the deal being struck between this and Harmony, or ignoring it, is a great injustice to those individuals that put in their sweat in Harmony. I sincerely think that this incubation will fail. I think IBM will spend most 'innovation' in their downstream project and quite quickly we will have a disrupted OpenOffice.org landscape, without any shippable binaries for many platforms. FTR, I hope that TDF will reconsider the stance on the Apache License and joins this effort as an equal partner, in which case I applaud those who made this happen and I would stand corrected. Prove me wrong!!
