This is not true, Apache was given the code by Oracle.
True, but IIRC this only happened after main developers left the project, huge
companies (Google,
Novell) have pledged support for LibreOffice and the community itself gave support to
LibreOffice. Only then Oracle realised that it was left almost completely alone with OO
and
decied to pass the project to Apache.
And I don't want to FUD anyone - I only want to remind how things were *two years
ago*. Since then
I have not used OO, so perhaps should not make statemetnts about it. Anyway Uwe, advice to
try
out both and choose the one you like is reasonable.

Apache is a great
place for a project, they have many. AOO just graduated to become a
full fledged project after a careful, and time consuming, code review,
incubator status.

I think that most of major distros replaced
OpenOffice with LibreOffice
quite a while ago.

I prefer AOO, Libreoffice has broken a feature that I rely upon. Both
run fine on TDE, not sure what 'integration' offers me as a user.
I say try them both, try not to believe the FUD, fwiw, AOO has the
Apache2 license, LO is GPL, this may be the reason for the FUD.
