Off the top of my head and AFAIK: * (At least) Apple's and Microsoft's app stores disallow copyleft licenses, so LibreOffice probably can't get into them, while OpenOffice.org can. * LibreOffice only had 1.3 million downloads in 6 months, compared to OpenOffice.org 3.x's 100 million downloads in 1 year. It seems like the project with the OpenOffice.org brand will win. * Some of the changes LibreOffice has made seem political rather than constructive, eg. removal of Java code and introduction of Python. * IBM is willling to work with OpenOffice.org but not LibreOffice. * OpenOffice.org has had a large number of people sign up already. > Greatings > theuserbl > > Damjan
