But I think we have enough examples to show this is bad for a project. One of the reasons for CUPS to evolve so slowly and to be so buggy has clearly to do with the Apple contributor agreement. And should you be reminded of how what the OOo community used to be before LO started? So it should not be a blocker, but it is certainly something to take into consideration before choosing software, when alternative exists that is not encumbered in such a way. Cheers, -- .''`.
