Title: Discordant Notes Surround IBM's Symphony Move
Post by: TechNews on Jul 18, 2011, 09:02 PM
 Following last month's excitement over the ongoing OpenOffice.org saga, it seemed like things on that front were quieting down at last. It was just early June, of course, when Oracle decided to donate OpenOffice to the Apache Foundation rather than to LibreOffice -- a move at least one blogger equated with a "spiteful child, smashing their toys instead of sharing." Well, so much for any kind of lasting quiet since then. Last week, none other than IBM announced that it was donating its Lotus Symphony office suite to the Apache OpenOffice.org project.
