Exciting stuff! *Whups! Looks like the story got its facts wrong -- the OpenOffice clan are making their* stuff available, not Sun Link (Thanks, Nick!)** Link Discuss posted by Cory Doctorow at 10:16:12 AM permalink \| Other blogs' comments Email this entry to: Your email address: Message (optional):	Boing Boing Sponsored by: Your Text Ad Here Get BB by email:
