Sounds like another pariah to me.
Except that LO people are actually getting things done. The pariah in the story
is Oracle (and Sun before that) who refused community control over the code as
they had originally promised.
Apache OpenOffice is getting things done. A pariah is one who takes the code from a project and
does not contribute any of its code back. That is LibreOffice.
Oracle donated the code and copyrights to Apache, which is an open source
community.
