I have a question. When is it acceptable for OpenOffice/StarOffice/Sun to
"break" its API?

To me, it doesn't make sense to have the API from a version 1.0 exist in version 6.0?


Doesn't it make sense that when you GPL a project and plan to make major
changes it, to also be able to break/change the API as your needs arise?
