In addition to all the code that we put into OpenOffice, there is the code that is used to build the installs. In the past we have made available install images for all supported platforms, including several packing formats for Linux. Are there any Apache license compatibility issues we should think about here? For example. RPM's are build using EPM, which is GPL. Does any of the GPL'ed code get bound into the package? In other words, do we need to worry about our binary releases? Ditto for DEB's and the MSI's for Windows. (Sorry, I am ignorant of all things Mac). Maybe we can start by listing the install technologies we use? -Rob
