It's rather full of mistakes and misinterpretations.

For example "spell-checking has had to be replaced due to the loss of hunspell", it's plainly wrong.

While "A curious side effect of this process is that community developers who licensed their code under the LGPL but assigned their copyright to Sun Microsystems, now find their code being re-licensed, against their will, to the Apache licence, which may mean the later absorption of the software in proprietary offerings." is a not-well-informed and historically wrong interpretation, since OpenOffice.org code was for a long period released under the Sun Industry Standard Source License (SISSL) and large part of his code included into proprietary products.

IMO, corrections to text should be asked.
