Friends.
It is a sad news that
Oracle is charging $90.00 U.S. for the ODF plugin for MS Office.
http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/get.jsp
The Sun ODF Plugin for Microsoft Office gives users of Microsoft
Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint
the ability to read, edit and save to the ISO-standard Open Document
Format (ODF).
It was available for free before Oracle bought Sun.
It is too bad for the community.
Will it happen to OpenOffice and MySQL?
