Well looks like one tech news/blog site thinks that OpenOffice.org is
doing some of the things I was wondering about.
OpenOffice.org forsakes Oracle, forms new foundation and fork

' "At the time, I asked Oracle if it also intended to scrap OpenOffice
development but the official response was 'No Comment." '
' He noted that Oracle may own rights to the OpenOffice trademark but
the code is released under a free and open license. '
[ me: So if Oracle own the name OpenOffice.org and they "scrap" the
project, then are they
going to turn over the OOo name to the OOo community, or are they going
to just tell
the community that OOo is no longer being allowed to be used. Maybe
that is why developers
are creating the LibreOffice software fork. Oracle will then not own
the name of this
office suite, like they do OpenOffice.org ]
