Please read:
Because OpenOffice.org is called BrOffice.org in Brazil?
Do you even know what patents are??
Here's what you wrote: "here in Brazil we can not be using OpenOffice.org because of trademarks and patents"
I want you to mention those patents that prevent OpenOffice.org from being used in Brazil but not BrOffice (or retract that part of the statement).
Again: Patentes não são marcas registadas, é uma ferramenta legal completamente diferente com outras implicações. Se OpenOffice viola patentes no Brasil, como o BrOffice é um produto derivado também as violará.
It's not a matter of patents but of the name. "OpenOffice " is registered over there .
Ah, but that's not what the first email said. I'm not opposed to including BrOffice in CentOS. I've mentioned, in my first reply, the current solution in use by Fedora.
I've no say either way, I'm just an interested observer. :P
