Yes, Open Office has forked, and LibreOffice is now the choice in Fedora
Linux. I have used OpenOffice and LibreOffice, and they have some
trouble with recent .docx files generated in MS Word, specifically with
embedded image files.

The actual free alternative is called libreoffice, the successor of
openoffice after it was taken over by Oracle - a company, in my personal
opinion, is by orders of magnitudes less 'free' than microsoft.

Dear All,
There is a free alternative to MS Office, OpenOffice from Oracle. It
can read and write MS Word files and save as PDF. There are some issues
with names of spreadsheet functions when moving from OO to MS Office.
If you use latex and beamer then there is no need to either ;-). I
use both Ubuntu and Mac with OO.
