@blogdiva @berniethewordsmith LibreOffice is just a normal FLOSS project, they don’t have a 'company' behind it.

@blogdiva @berniethewordsmith That’s OpenOffice.org, on the Apache Graveyard.

@blogdiva @berniethewordsmith Okay, LibreOffice has "The Document Foundation", but this isn’t any more corporate than let’s say KDE’s noprofit.

@blogdiva @frumble @berniethewordsmith Sorta? So OpenOffice was ditched off to Apache after Sun was bought bought by Oracle. LibreOffice was a fork started at Novell and maybe Redhat?? due to the fact that OpenOffice has been neglected since Sun started it. That was then made into a foundation (Document Foundation) similar to Mozilla. That foundation runs both LibreOffice and the ODT.
(I was somehow tangent to all of this as I was helping support the Mac ports all those years ago)

@VulpineAmethyst @blogdiva @berniethewordsmith Contributing ≠ the project is mainly developed in corporate structures

I am not sure I would reduce their involvement to just 'collaboration', given they have blocked features found in their productised LO. 🤷🏻
