My recollection is that I (and others) strongly encouraged he do this. It was, and is, my understanding that LibO has no official disc distributor and is happy to have individuals provide the service within their local regions. The open source nature of the software encourages this, and at the very reasonable price point Dave chose, I don't see what could be a problem here. More people will be able to get copies of LibreOffice, which is good for the project and all of us involved!That is all true. But that does not mean that using an url as libreoffcedvd is automatically OK. Maybe we should have paid more attention discussing that?
That's a valid point. But as far as I know, we don't have a policy on URLs that include the term "libreoffice" yet. Until we do, we cannot say that Dave is or is not following our policy! Once a fair policy is developed and agreed upon, I'm sure he and other project participants will be happy to follow it. Have you heard any discussion about this topic elsewhere that I may have missed? -Ben Benjamin Horst bhorst@mac.com 646-464-2314 (Eastern) www.solidoffice.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+help@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/marketing/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
