While I've been doing my best to ignore this thread, I have failed. My 
apologies.

Some may find your brief statement unclear. In the interests of clarity and 
good relationships: Novell did not start LibreOffice. They started Go-OO, which 
was a downstream and partial fork of OOo. When LibreOffice was started by a 
variety of community members, Novell ended Go-OO, donated the relevant parts of 
the work to LibreOffice and directed their staff to join its community.
