openoffice.org is just a metapackage. No harm when removing it.

No. ttf-liberation is the only alternative instead of msttcorefonts when
you want not use a installer package which installs non-free fonts.

And OOo upstream includes the fonts - so the openoffice.org metspackage,
which sense is to install all components what you would get when you installed
it upstream dpends on it.

(And next time please coose a sane Subject: how is this dependency abusive?)
