Yes Please - I would be most interested in what you perceive the 
different objectives to be.

If I may add one more thing - this from one of the primary marketing 
pieces on the OO.o site:

-------------------
It's hard to believe that high quality,
easy to use software like OpenOffice.org 3 can really be free.

But thanks to contributions of time and money, from individuals and 
companies (large and small), OpenOffice.org is free for you to use today.

Furthermore, the open-source licence used by OpenOffice.org 3 means this 
freedom can never be taken away.

The OpenOffice.org community are delighted if you find our software of use.
-------------------------

During my time here Sun, then Oracle, was continually referred to as the 
primary sponsor of the community, not the community itself.

If Oracle no longer feels that it's objectives are in alignment with 
those of the community at large, and therefore no longer willing to 
sponsor the OpenOffice.org Community, then I believe it best to make 
that statement publicly, clearly and without obfuscation.

Naturally the corporation is free to retain the registered domain name 
and trademark which are it's property. Although as one community member 
I would ask again for Oracle Corp to make those assets available to the 
OpenOffice.org Community.

Please understand that I again speak only for myself.

Looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely,

Drew Jensen
