Open et StarOffice

Open et StarOffice, c'est la même chose, sauf que...

CT: Will there be some proprietary filters in StarOffice that you won't 
find in OpenOffice?

Rogers: The kinds of things that we cannot deliver to OpenOffice.org are 
file filters, fonts, some linguistic technology, and the database 
component, which is a third-party deal we have with Adabas. Those are the 
differences, but largely the community comes in and says "OK, if we can't 
have the same thing that's in StarOffice, we'll do something different." So 
the community is working on a WordPerfect filter, it is throwing fonts in 
there, and they have developed or found open source thesauri.

(...)

CT: Sun  just announced that it will begin charging for StarOffice with 
version 6, while maintaining a no-charge download for the 
community-developed OpenOffice 6 upon which it is based. Can you give us 
some of the reasoning behind this decision?

Comme on dit, read my lips: "no-charge download for the community-developed 
OpenOffice 6" ...ou plutôt OpenOffice1, je suppose.

En plus clair, voici ce que ça donne:

Sun Microsystems Inc.'s StarOffice 6.0 will come with enhanced features and 
added support, but at a price, as Sun aims to attract a wider audience, 
such as businesses, towards the office-productivity software suite. A less 
sophisticated version of the product will still be available for free 
download from OpenOffice.org, the open-source community sponsored by Sun, 
the company announced Tuesday.

Donc, StarOffice est gratuit, mais ça s'appelle alors OpenOffice et il 
manque, entre autres, des filtres pour convertir de ou vers d'autres 
traitements de texte. Le reste du texteoù Roger explique que Sun a presque 
été obligé de charger pour Star Office parce que les compagnies ne prennent 
pas au sérieux les logiciels gratuits est assez amusant. Autrement, on peut 
toujours obtenir SO gratuitement... en payant un 20$ USD additionnel pour 
faire partie de Mandrake Club. 

Dites ce que vous voudrez, il s'en vient crasse, le monde Linux. Avant, on 
se contentait de mettre des softs propriétaires à côté du libre, 
maintenant, on en met dans le libre.

Vive Slackware!
