The short answer is no, I'm not scared of "all future versions", but on

Fair enough :-) We're still thinking this through I guess. How would
you feel about The Document Foundation (as/when it exists) being your
'proxy' for future versions ?
Ultimately of course - if you think GPLv4 will remove freedoms, the
question is why anyone would switch from GPLv3 ;-) I assume you're more
inclined to be worried about removing restrictions in a way that might
impact freedom (?).
In the shorter term, if that does not work for the LO project, let me
point out that I am hardly a major contributor.
Sure, sure - but we would love you to become one :-) I still tend to
(for all its faults) think that a plus license has some real strengths
for future re-licensing.
Thanks,
Michael.
