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 By Paula Rooney | September 28, 2010, 6:22am PDT ' "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 ] http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/openofficeorg-forsakes-oracle-forms-new-foundation-and-fork/7445?tag=nl.e539
