“When LibreOffice first forked from OpenOffice.org, I was unsure
how to respond to it. Many of its founders were members of Go-OO,
the sometimes controversial not-quite-fork, so LibreOffice looked
like simply a continuation of GO-OO under another name. However,
since last week, when Oracle donated OpenOffice.org to the Apache
Software Foundation, LibreOffice.org is looking more and more like
the natural heir of the original OpenOffice.org, by which I mean
the project that will do the free software community the most
benefit.”
