| Things are looking good for Open Source and Open Standards. Where do things

KOffice's stance against OOXML more practical than political, developer says
,----[ Quote ]
| In the recent accusations that the GNOME Foundation has been supporting
| Microsoft's OOXML format at the expense of ODF, KDE has been presented as a
| counter-example. Based on a KDE News article, Richard Stallman suggested
| that "major KDE developers" had announced "their rejection of OOXML" and
| urged GNOME to do the same. More recently, a widely linked story on ITWire
| used the same article to declare that KDE has taken a "principled stand"
| against OOXML. However, if you go the source, the story is more nuanced than
| these claims suggest.
