Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Sun ODF Plugin for Microsoft Office - From Oracle no longer free

Hi :)
Is it possible to upload this Extension onto the LibreOffice Extensions website?  Is there any 
indication of what license is use for those older versions?  If it is on an OpenSource license such 
as LGPL or MPL (like LO itself) then it should be Ok.  There are quite a lot of these OpenSource or 
copyleft agreements now.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Well, it looks like the newest versions of this filter is no longer free.
One site I looked at had the following to say:

----quote------------------------
Sun released a plugin back in 2007 for Microsoft Office that allowed Office users to work with Open 
Document Format (ODF) documents. The Sun ODF Plugin was maintained by Sun and offered as a free 
download. The recent acquisition of Sun by Oracle had an impact on the availability of the plugin.

The Sun ODF Plugin for Microsoft Office is now offered for the premium price of $99 per application 
user plus an annual support fee of $19.80 with a minimum order quantity of 100 licenses. No 
information are currently offered if the product will be made available to Office end users as well.
--------unquote------------

Now, Oracle seems not to have it on their site anymore.  Or at least by the searching I have down 
on the Oracle site.

The I have seen links for free versions of 3.1 and 3.2, even though Oracle is no longer showing it, 
others sites are.

So what do you think?

Is it free, or not?
Oracle no longer sells it.
I cannot find it for sale anywhere.
It looks free to me.
