If you want OO in Fedora in the future, feel free to step up and become its maintainer --- package it for Fedora, and put it in the repos. Then the whole Fedora community will have the choice you talk about. Just make sure to remove all patent-encumbered code out of it before you package it, and keep yourself informed about any new patents that might be violated in future OO. Simple enough, right? :-) Oh, and by the way, people who are doing that job right now are probably going to be busy doing the same for LO, so I guess they won't be too willing to do the same job twice. But if you take over the workload for OO, I don't see any problem at all... ;-) Fedora is all about choice, after all! And a bit of community work... :-D HTH, :-) Marko -- 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
