In most cases we replaced the copyleft modules with equivalent or superior libraries that were also permissive licensed. So ensure that downstream consumers of Apache OpenOffice have maximum flexibility in that regard, and to encourage a broader ecosystem, we removed components that were incompatible with these goals. In essence, Apache products are permissively licensed, so anyone is free to use them in open source or proprietary products. This is the work we did to get the code to conform to Apache policy regarding licensing. Take a look at the box called "Removal of copyleft". So what does this timeline tell us, other than the obvious fact that we've been busy? In the end, it is one project, with many aspects, and the pieces work together. There is a lot of overlap, and something I put under Infrastructure could arguably also be other categories as well. I've arbitrarily categorized the items as Infrastructure, Community or Development, knowing full well that any such act of categorization is dubious at best. The above timeline shows just some of the accomplishments of the Apache OpenOffice project since we first started incubation at Apache last June.
