Is it? Isn't it really a fork?

Oracle still employs a lot of the OpenOffice.org developers and they can certainly continue the product if they wish. This is a fork, not a continuation, and the two will compete until Oracle says otherwise. |

Yup. LibreOffice is the new Go-OO if anything. |

I don't know that Novell is ready to turn Go-OO loose either. It would be nice if they got behind LibreOffice but I wouldn't bet my bottom dollar on it. |

Right along these lines: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20100928224103271 Seven questions from Pamela Jones, and seven answers from Charles-H. Schultz from The Document Foundation. |

I'd have to say that if leaving out the OOXML stuf that was developed with the aid of Microsoft cause OOXML compatibility to suffer LibreOffice will be a hard sell. |

I agree with tracyanne on this one. If document compatibility with MS Office isn't there nobody except hard core FSF types will touch it. |
