It won't be updated anymore after 2008/06/03.

I've attached a large text file containing the names of the

RE: Remove outdated Copyright-Approved Persons and Companies list

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <or...@apache.org>]

Thank you for bringing this to the attention of the Apache OpenOffice project.

The <http://www.openoffice.org/copyright/copyrightapproved.html> list is from the site as it existed before Apache OpenOffice was established.  It specifies facts that are not under the independent control of the Apache OpenOffice project.  

For the list to be updated or replaced, it needs to come from some authority that can assert who provided Copyright agreements between when the list was last updated and when the Apache Software Foundation received the Software Grant Agreement from Oracle Corporation.

If you have further information on those copyright agreements and an authoritative source for the information, please communicate that to private@openoffice.apache.org where such matters can be discussed with the Project Management Committee.

Are you talking about credits, not copyright agreements, and how contributors to the project are acknowledged? 

There is also difficulty in retroactively acknowledging participants in releases not made by the Apache OpenOffice project itself.  OpenOffice.org 3.3 is not a product of Apache OpenOffice.  If there are errors, that might be good to discuss on private@openoffice.apache.org also. 

 - Dennis
