Hi,

how is the legal "Terms of use" of this extension ? Does the sentence 
"You also agree that IBM is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, 
or techniques that you send us for any purpose." within the IBM page at 
https://www.ibm.com/legal/us/en/ fit to this service ?

Kind regards, Joost

No current plans to make source code available.  It is a
free-of-charge extension for OpenOffice.  I don't believe we have
tested with LibreOffice.  You can see the license details when you
install.  Standard IBM license for non-warrantied software.

	I wasn't aware of this, but it sounds powerful, is there a publicly
estimated user-base for the product ? If the connector is small enough;
given that it's widely useful - I'd be interested in the possibility of
including it into LibreOffice: particularly with a view to putting a
number of these connectors side-by-side and factoring commonality out of
them to share to reduce size/overlap.

	That requires a free-software license though; is the plan to release
the code at some stage ?

	Thanks,

		Michael,

PS. Amusingly, I got a Microsoft / Windows Azure advert as I
    downloaded it :-)
