Hi :) Weirdly it was never really OOo in openSUSE, Ubuntu or most of the others. It was marketed as being OOo but in fact they combined resources to produce a fork called Go-oo.
LibreOffice started largely from the Go-oo fork. Well, it was the OOo code but Go-oo merged with that very soon after LO became independent. That was the main reason why LibreOffice was so much more developed and had so many bug-fixes so fast. A lot of the patches and developments that Sun had blocked had already been tested and used for years in openSUSE, Ubuntu and others. I think almost all the Go-oo devs moved into LibreOffice and they even modified their website to say that Go-oo had moved to LO and ceased being a separate fork. One of the main devs in LibreOffice is from the SUSE project and kinda seconded to TDF and LO but was formerly kinda seconded to Go-oo. So, really you have always been using LibreOffice just that it was really Go-oo before and loosely called OpenOffice.org just to avoid confusing the outside world with so many different forks and names.
