Sun is (currently) doing it right wrt. licensing:
- OO.o CVS is the authoritative base source
- A few other packages plugged in externally for SO.
- fonts / icons / clipart / Adabas / Migration tools etc.
Sun is now offering support for OO.o
Legal bits
- JCA – shared copyright, minimal asymmetry
- Source under LGPL / SISSL
- SISSL: X11 + ~LGPL for ABI / file-format changes
Other (broken) licensing models (GPL)
- MySQL/Qt – monetizing developer APIs & formats
