Am I missing something? Oracle doesn't own the trademark to openoffice in Brazil. So we are unlikely to prefer openoffice to libreoffice on any of the official media and we aren't going to put both on the same media given their size. (That is why we had a special broffice spin through F14.) A maintainer wouldn't have to be from Oracle, anyone could do it. They'd still have to leave out the stuff that had patent issues. Size may be an issue because these packages are so large (are almost the same thing). I doubt that would block it, but it might be a consideration. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
