Crap-crud. Sun/Oracle are the ones with the license problems/limitations.
Both projects have chosen their license politics. That is true of
course. But as OpenOffice.org is the original one I think it is
acceptable to say that the second project which was created later is the
one that *chooses* its politics regarding the newly created situation of
a fork.
So if you contribute code to OpenOffice.org it will went into most
flavors or forks. If you choose to contribute to LibreOffice in
contrary the code will only be there.
True, but only because of Sun/Oracle's licensing requirements, not the
other way around.
No, the one way situation could be solved by LibreOffice also. They
could choose a license politics with a central authority (e.g. TDF).
Then the two projects would be in the position to make agreements to
cooperate. We will see what they decide to do.
Kind regards,
Ingrid
