The Groklaw version of this....

" I had a chance to ask Charles-H. Schulz, on the steering 
committee of The Document Foundation some questions I had swirling in 
my mind after their announcement today of LibreOffice, and he was kind 
enough to take time on a really busy day to answer.  I wanted to know 
about Mono and OOXML and all the things you are wondering about too. I 
had become quite worried about OpenOffice.org and Go-OO, and naturally 
that was on my mind, given who is involved in LibreOffice. The answers 
are reassuring. The Document Foundation is serious about avoiding non-
free elements, and they are on the same page about that. I guess 
that's how they got Richard Stallman to bless the project, now that I 
think of it, along with so many others. And I wanted to ask him how we 
all can help out. "
