When a company announces that they will make something open source - they
have, in effect, made it open source.  So both terms are correct.

More quotes:

said he could give no timetable for the process because it will
involve an increasingly broad group of developers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware - that is, until a release date is announced. and the specific license is important, even if it is an Open Source license, it is not necessarily compatible with the license used by OOo.

So, if you had simply read the article, (which is why I bothered to link to
it), you would have been able to save your time and mine waiting for an
answer.

I had read the article at least one day before you posted the link
