Open Source Licensing Paper
I've commented before on the three-category model I use for classifying open source licenses for internal use at Sun. We've prepared a white paper [253k PDF] explaining the approach we take and I would welcome constructive feedback. Feel free to pass this on, it is Creative Commons licensed, and let me know if it proves useful. Many thanks to Mary who actually wrote most of it (and had to endure hours of listening to me talk about open source licenses) and to chief squirrel herder Sara who made it happen.
NeoOffice 2.0 Alpha Available
If you're a Mac user, you'll be delighted to know that Patrick has got an early alpha of NeoOffice 2.0 ready, complete with all the features that are in other OpenOffice.org distributions including full OpenDocument support. He's experimenting with raising funds by selling access to the alpha program - well worth supporting in my view - although everything remains GPL licensed and the source remains available.
