did or did not do is is not informative.
That is simply not true. The whole reason LibreOffice exists is because of
how badly Oracle did. LibreOffice has an open and democratic process that
aligns with the open source philosophies, uses a good license and isn't
being run by the ghost of what used to be OpenOffice.org. Apache suffers
from a bad license, few contributors, few releases, many bugs and thousands
and thousands of lines of cruft.
I am so glad that LO exists. Prior to that there was little development
happening in regard to word processors for Linux. Now LO is making leaps
and bounds.
