It's understandable about Oracle since Larry Ellison, Oracle’s CEO, didn’t really care about OpenOffice (after all Oracle essentially gave OO away to The Apache Foundation) it's also known that Ellison wasn’t going to let The Document Foundation, LibreOffice’s parent organization, dictate terms to him . But it's never quite understood why IBM didn’t help create LibreOffice . Be that as it may, IBM will be announcing tomorrow (Friday, US) that it’s donating essentially all its IBM Lotus Symphony source code and resources to Apache’s OpenOffice project . Cute! |
