Re: There's a sort of bias

<blockquote>It was KDE's decision to not have duplicated efforts in applying as many entities. As such Koffice, Amarok, etc. specifically themselves decided to NOT make their separate offers. Nothing about being "not allowed to".</blockquote>

Nope.. KOffice asked if they could apply separately, but was denied.

KOffice was denied last year. This year, a decision was made to be part of KDE, and not try to split.

As brad pointed out; KOffice has not applied separately, there is not even a business behind KOffice to do so. Frankly; joining forces gives us a bigger gain as you don't need to have KOffice developers to mentor KOffice specific projects.
To be clear; there are for sure people that will have suggested to apply separately, but in the end the idea never made it.

ps. I'm a KOffice core developer ;)
