Hi :)
The questions seem about right.
Your question 1 was mainly to find out if it is written as a macro or is just a clever worksheet or
if it is more than a macro. I get the feeling it's somethign clever in Java or maybe even C++ or
something (C++ would be fantastic).
He doesn't seem to have protected his ownership with any sort of copyright yet. He does seem to be
a good chap that is just glad to see his code being used. So, he might well be keen to protect his
work by using the GPL so that some company can't swoop in and grab his work for their own profit
and cut him out from being able to use any of that code elsewhere in other stuff he is working on.
There are other licenses he might prefer. Creative Commons has a calculator for documentation or
art or music but i don't think they have good ones for coding.
The questions are better the way you asked them because it sounds less threatening and gives him
chance to give short answers. We don't need to push him in any direction because Extensions are
independent of the main code and his could have any license he likes.
Regards from
Tom :)

Dear Tom
Thanks for the very very detailed and useful answers Tom. I thought I wrote detailed questions.
But you went much further . Even better you wanted to see how SMF could get to open source ....
You are just super
I shall ask in smf add in yahoo group. I am NOT sure if I will get any further because their
starting web page stays no open office support. I am sure others might have asked over the years
...still I think they will tolerate one more question
I plan to ask the following ,.... But I'd appreciate if your could go thru these suggested
questions and correct / add to them whee needed
1. What language is smf add in written in - my answer - must be XL VBA . the add ins are generally
VBA, still ill ask
2. Is it open for porting to libre office / open office by others
3. ...anything else that I missed ....
Randy ( developer of SMF ) is generally a very friendly and very helpful person
I haven't seen anyone share and answer this much
I am not sure if he will allow open licensing ,.... Still I will ask
--------
Thanks again and
Regards
Gentlemen you simply rock

Hi :)
If that is usable then you can probably replace your current version of LibreOffice with
OpenOffice without too many problems.

Tom :)

invoked , could help the user get specific cells ( not the whole web page )
Sort of.

It is much more reliable with OpenOffice Apache than LibreOffice.
