maybe OOoPortable doesn't change the source code, but it changes the liberies and the configuration files and their structure. The product came with a different splash screen. For this reasons the portable project needs the agreement from Oracle to use the trademark OOo for the product. But no one could get this agreement up to now. I pointed this out in my talk at the OOoCon in Budapest and discussed about this issue to Martin (without a doable solution). If you look in the same harsch way on OOoPortable as you look on LibreOffice, you may also think of it as a competitor. And you can do the same with OOo4Kids, which is as far as I know creating significant changes to the code. If I remember correctly they have also a foundation or an association for that project/product.
