For those who haven't seen this:

Is this a case of "Where there's smoke ..."
The LibreOffice developers that split off refused to contribute code
under the "Oracle" license and according to the words of Mark
Shuttlworth "made their work hell". (Made the work hell of the remaining
paid Oracle employees).
Since also LibreOffice was allowed to take code from ApacheOffice but
not in reverse (due to it restrictive license) (LibreOffice had a
license that forbade it from being given back to Apache/Oracle
OpenOffice) any updates only flowed in one way and provided the doom for
OpenOffice.
