In the Mac version LibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m7 (Build:9526) The About information shows: Copyright © 2000, 2010 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Hm - something a lawyer should have a look at, I guess - I mean, it *is* the case that much of the LibreOffice code is copyright Oracle (shared with tons of other people, of course - thus the link to the credits page). Let's see if we can sort that out for 3.3
The informed consensus on an appropriate copyright notice is this: "Copyright © 2000, 2010 LibreOffice contributors and/or their affiliates. All rights reserved. This product was created by The Document Foundation, based on OpenOffice.org, which is Copyright 2000, 2010 Oracle and/or its affiliates.

Thorsten - can you turn that into a patch ?
(In reply to comment #2) That sounds better ... but I am not a lawyer. Out of curiosity did you run it past a lawyer? Did you review the http://www.openoffice.org/license.html ? OOo was licensed jointly by Sun/Oracle and under the LGPL so there could be some sticky issues. Since Oracle is so litigious, I highly recommend getting a lawyer to review LO's license. Perhaps the FSF.org would be willing to do the license review for LO?
Committed as proposed. Also there's a link to http://libreoffice.org/credits.html now.
(In reply to comment #4) > Committed as proposed. Also there's a link to > http://libreoffice.org/credits.html now. Thanks. Is there a reason why the link is "Access forbidden"?
Verified in the 10_10_28_Cedric.rpm build. Closing - Sophie
