Of course Star Office is still floating around somewhere but it

bear much resemblance to LibreOffice or even OpenOffice. So it can't
really count as a fork any more
StarOffice never was a fork, OpenOffice forked off it and then
LibreOffice forked off OpenOffice. In other words it is the 'new'
thing which is a 'fork' and the 'original' stays the original:).
I thought Sun created OpenOffice when they open sourced StarOffice.

Maybe then StarWriter -> StarOffice -> OpenOffice then were just
'renames', I thought they were forks too, and only LibreOffice is a
fork of OpenOffice.

Someone remind me. . . .
What were all of the "popular" forks off from OpenOffice.org?
I remember a European one [EuroOffice?], a Mac one [NeoOffice?], and
OxygenOffice. I know there were others. Many "died" on their own for
lack of supporters or developers, while others [so I heard] had their
project developers come over to LibreOffice and stop developing their
"forked" projects.
Anyone know of a good list and what became of these forks?
Well, in my opinion, LibreOffice is the best fork of the lot.
