Oracle to Bar OpenOffice Application Suite

Oracle has established the murmur going around about the prohibiting of the OpenOffice application suite from its commercial software contributions. The company declared that the application suite is at the present being handed over to the open source community while it schedules to highlight more on MySQL and Linux as far its open source hard work are apprehensive.



Communicating his outlook on the subject, Oracle Chief Architect Edward Screven mentioned, "Given the extensiveness of inquisitiveness in free personal productivity applications and the speedy development of personal computing technologies, we suppose the OpenOffice.org would be best handled by an organization focused on allocation of that broad constituency on a non-commercial basis".




The notion of the OpenOffice was originally developed by Sun with the sight of offering an open source alternate for the enormously accepted Microsoft Office that would support the ODF format. Later, it became so accepted that numerous a time, even the company’s servers could not knob the massive demand it brought along.

It has been extensively wondered that with this move, the death knell of particularly trendy Sun stimulated project has been sounded. Nevertheless, Oracle is yet to make an official announcement whether it will prolong funding the OpenOffice project or not.
