After the acquisition of Sun by Oracle, some of the OpenOffice.org
developers decided it was best to fork OpenOffice due to concerns over
Oracle's business practices. I personally made the switch to Libre Office
right away and haven't looked back. The software at this point, functions
the same as OpenOffice did. I am not sure if Oracle had contributed any
significant amount of code that couldn't be forked or not. If so, I am sure
it's only code that they might've put into Star Office - the commercial
version of OpenOffice.
