No, that's fine. It might answer questions for others, too,
I just sent E-mail to Daniel at what I believe is his address at
openoffice.org.

I'll let you know what he says, and if I can change the OOo4R license. If you can use OOo4R I expect you'll still need to do some additional work. Do you think you'll be adding on to OOo4R? If the library is released under Ruby's license, would you care to take over or share in
project ownership of OOo4R?

I would probably *use* such a tool if it existed, ad perhaps look at bugs and such if need be; I just don't have the wherewithal to go fix it up and make it work right myself. :)

Sure. I'll let you know what I hear.

And then my reply:
Hi,
I will try to figure it out and make changes, and if I get any changes done,
then I will be interested in taking over or share in project ownership of OOo4R.
I'll let you know if I get anywhere, and if I have additional questions.
