h2. IP clearance

The former code base of OpenOffice.org used several external libraries and =
code with incompatible licenses (see also [Third-Party Licensing Policy|htt=
p://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html]) that cannot be longer used in the Ap=
ache Open Office project or at least not in the same way. A first overview =
of critical stuff can be found on the "[Migration|http://wiki.services.open=
office.org/wiki/ApacheMigration]" page in the community wiki. This page is =
intended to document the ongoing work of the IP clearance in more detail bu=
t still high-level.

The process will be redefined and improved over time and in the end we will=
 end up with an automated process using the Apache Release Audit Tool (RAT)=
 to ensure that we have always a clean code base for Apache Open Office.
The licenses are color coded according to their category on [Third-Party Li=
censing Policy|http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html]: {highlight:green}[=
Category A License|http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html#category-a]{high=
