OpenOffice Foundation

[bruce perens com (Bruce Perens)]

I am not an official spokesperson for Sun Microsystems. Far from it. But I
know that Sun eventually wants to put OpenOffice under a foundation like this
one. This is public knowledge: they say it on the OpenOffice.org web site. At
that point, the foundation would probably become the copyright holder.

I think we really want that to happen. How we handle our relationship with
Sun, and how effective _this_ foundation is, will determine _if_ it happens.

Thus, I'd prefer if the foundation adopt a more constructive rhetoric on this
issue than the one Alan has been using, and get to work on developing a
consensus on what we want changed. 

	Thanks
