Maybe I'm just a dreamer, but if that's the problem, why don't we create
a fund to buy the Open Office name from its owner? Maybe all the
OpenOffice.org users helping with $10, could create an expressive fund.
That's the magic of the open source community. If we stay together, and
work together we can do anything we want.
