Could be tricky since the RH builds of Openoffice have Java disabled.
Don't know if anyone is working on integrating OOo with gcj (which would
also make other Java extensions like the (limited) Docbook editing
support work).

I was wondering why that is the default too. At the kernel/shell level I
can understand copying will transfer attributes, but from a user's
perspective the most common reason for making a copy from a read-only
medium is to be able to edit it.

I disagree. If someone makes some subdirectory read-only there usually
is a reason. Maybe to prevent it from being accidentally deleted...
