[NTLUG:Discuss] Any hope for *Office unification

[Leroy Tennison]

Noted Oracle's drop of commercial OpenOffice and then their donation of 
the source code to the Apache Foundation.  Wondering what the hope is of 
Libre and Open being able to share improvements any time in the near 
future.  The Oracle/Libre spitting match aside, what little I read was 
that there are licensing conflicts between LGPL and Apache which are 
going to be obstacles to true sharing of improvements.  Is this a real 
issue or just more spitting?

I wouldn't have any objection to using Libre except that I found 
Novell's incarnation of Open to be buggy (spell check just didn't work, 
neither did some form fields).  I would hate to have to choose between 
documented and undocumented features.
