Orange launches 'Open Office'

,----[ Quote ]
| The only reason that those behind the software suite do not use the 
| name "Open Office" is the registration of that trademark in the Netherlands 
| by an Ubuntu Linux-affiliated company. The co-founder of the Linux company, 
| Wouter Hanegraaff, told ZDNet.co.uk that his company still occasionally falls 
| foul of confusion generated by OpenOffice.org's internationally implemented  
| nomenclature, but he wished Orange well with their UK-based venture.
