Based on what I read on the Document Foundation's website, I do not believe it is based on Go-OOo at all; but that they just accepted the patches in "mainline". >From their FAQ (http://www.documentfoundation.org/faq/) - emphasis mine: Q: What does this announcement mean to other derivatives of OpenOffice.org? A: We want The Document Foundation to be open to code contributions from as many people as possible. We are delighted to announce that the enhancements produced by the Go-OOo team will bemergedinto LibreOffice, effective immediately. We hope that others will follow suit. Ben
