Does the End of KOffice Mean the End of KDE?

jfruhlinger writes "Venerable Linux office suite KOffice has been reborn as "Calligra," a name meant to evoke calligraphy but perhaps a bit too close to the neme of a deranged Roman emperor. Perhaps more importantly, Calligra seems to be cooperating with the future MeeGo mobile Linux distro. Could this be the beginning of the end of the KDE desktop, at least under its current branding?"

I'm assuming the PayPal hate is because they stopped letting people use PayPal to donate funds to Wikileaks. The PayPal terms of service have been clear and consistent for years. If you use the site to encourage people to break the law, then you can't use PayPal.

I'm all for government transparency and accountability, but Wikileaks did encourage people to break the law in acquiring these documents. In the post-Patriot Act world, if you financially enable people to break the law, you can be held liable. I'm assuming PayPal was pressured a bit in this matter.

Full disclouse, I work for PayPal, but I don't have any inside information on the matter. These are solely my assumptions and opinions.
