Let barking dogs bark
I would recommend that no one respond to the following:
http://standardsandfreedom.net/index.php/2012/03/14/brand-confusion/
It really serves no purpose to do so.
I would also suggest that those who intent is to simply stir this
kind of stuff up to simply shut the f*ck up, and let the coders code
and the project grow.

People always want to hinder progress.

Well, at least we will be able to address those clueless enough
to wonder "What has the project been up to these several months"...
When we do release, we should emphasize how much of an effort it
was to do the required due-diligence and alterations to get the
IP clearance passed, which was:
1. Non-trivial
2. A benefit to the *entire* OOo ecosystem
since it seems that such efforts had not been done for ages.
With AOOo, we now have a release that has gone thru intense
clearance...

After the first AOO release, some of this may end.
It just seems funny that the closer the release gets, the more of this
we see :)
Maybe there's a campaign going on and we weren't invited :)
Best regards,

thanks for sharing and screwing my quitting time today ;-)
Well it's again a blog that I don't like but there are so many :-(
For me it shows that some people get nervous because they see that the
stuttering engine of AOO runs better and better. So let us oil the
engine that it runs constantly and smooth.

I once did an entire blog post where I did not mention LibreOffice at
all, by name, by allusion, or by indirect reference. And that post
offended them most of all. It is impossible to avoid offending
someone if they are intent on being offended.

FWIW, somewhere there is a quote from one of my emails that
some people seem to think is "hostile towards LO". I was actually
recognizing the virtues of Microsoft (they are the market leaders
for some reason, right?).
Whatever people want to read from my words is not really under
my control but hopefully someone will pick here that all I say is
my strict personal opinion and that my opinions don't necessarily
imply a position from either Apache or the FreeBSD foundations.
