Don't Expect an OpenOffice/LibreOffice Merger

Since Oracle has decided to give OpenOffice back to the community, a lot of people wondered if there would be some sort of re-unification with the ex-Oracle and the Document Foundation run by a lot of the original involved folks. The latter has released a statement saying, "the development of TDF community and LibreOffice is going forward as planned, and we are always willing to include new members and partners. We will provide as many information as we can with the progress of the situation. We are currently making every possible effort to offer a smooth transition to the project."

First you ask Oracle to release the brand, then when they do so, you act like you couldn't care.
I hope no one sees this and thinks the rest of the FOSS movement is alike, but who am I kidding?
LibreOffice is such a crappy name that it, alone, should make you merge back.
