Novell OpenOffice Fork?
,----[ Quote ]
| Novell has released a new version of OpenOffice.org 2.0.2, replete
| with all kinds of fancy (and possibly patent-encumbered)
| "interoperability" features. Let's count the number of times we
| see the words "Microsoft" or "Windows", shall we?
|
| [...]
|
| ...but the download page only indicates Windows 2000/XP as the platform...
|
| [...]
|
| Did you catch that last part about "free download for their
| registered users"? What do you want to bet that is so they have a counter
| for their royalty payment to Microsoft for their "Interoperability IP"?
