Re: [tlug] Poll: OpenOffice or LibreOffice?

[fgs@example.com]

There is this one thing I'd like to say about the original thread subject;

Although I deploy " LibreOffice " in my network with confidence that it took 
over from the OpenOffice project, which I used since my day-1 at Linux world 
(circa 1998) and I know, yet-to-be-defunct, first time I heard the word 
"libre" I found an unfortunate mistake.

Problem here is this being a key project to the Linux environment. Never quite 
understood what they meant by "libre". Free from corporate culture perhaps? 
Why not " FreeOffice ", then? Like " FreeNAS " and other frees... Now people 
talking about " LibreSSH " makes me wonder and actually worry what these 
people want to state by "libre". "Libre" as some reactionary word?

... Because if there is one thing we can do to blow this up overnight is to 
associate Linux with some anti-market, anti-capitalism sort of thing... China 
just recently retaliated M$FTWinXP's end-of-life with a ban on Windows v.8 
for their government computers. That is to say, a landmark opportunity for 
Linux desktop ( http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/ubuntu-kylin ) but hopefully in 
a responsible manner.

That's one Linux aspect I've always felt quite uneasy about.

Anyways. Fernando.
