That's my "reason" to see OOoAuthors as a fork. I couldn't argue with 
Daniel on that issue, as I've not been involved in the discussion about 
the license change.

As said: rading the Chatlog, OOoAuthors does not enforce any particular 
license. Nail them on that.
(And yes, I know, there is confusion about that .. but I this has to be 
discussed and may be resolved in some cases)

See that one for my opinion:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8331

(I spent days for the translation only to find out, nobody at the 
documentation proejct was interested in publishing it)

Absolutely ... *sigh* I'll join the dev@doc lists again ;-)

If you define "OOo community" as "all who strictly work with OOo 
website", we will make many people upset.
Anyway .. there is still the problem of the license, that makes it 
impossible to contribute editable content from OOoAuthors (2.0 users 
guide) to OOo Website.
