If you go to Oracle shop you will see that Oracle is selling OpenOffice (under Applications->Oracle Office) .

OpenOffice.org is LGPL licenced, so I wonder What the fuck is Oracle selling?!! And what do they call Oracle Open Office Standard Edition ?

Oracle is also selling the ODF (open document format) plugin for M$ Office (which used to be free) for $90 per user with minimum quantities of 100 .

I don't care what Oracle evil^W plans for all the open source software that they got trough Sun acquisition are. I just hope it all gets fast and successfully forked. Go Maria!
