And "breaking the chains of vendor dependency" means "interoperability".

Interoperability again.

Thomas, it is all about interoperability. Interop is the sole reason why
we have open standards. Interop is why we have ISO. How does MS keep a
lock on the market? They break interop. How does ODF hope to change
this? By creating interop.

Sing and clap with me (monkey dance): Interoperability!
Interoperability! Interoperability! Interoperability! Interoperability!
Interoperability! Interoperability! Interoperability! Interoperability!
