OpenOffice Is Now, Officially, Apache OpenOffice

Posted by timothy on from the patchy-word-processor dept.

rbowen writes "Apache OpenOffice has graduated from the Incubator, and now is officially a top-level project at the Apache Software Foundation." From the announcement: "As with all Apache software, Apache OpenOffice software is released under the Apache License v2.0, and is overseen by a self-selected team of active contributors to the project. A Project Management Committee (PMC) guides the Project's day-to-day operations, including community development and product releases. Information on Apache OpenOffice source code, documentation, mailing lists, related resources, and ways to participate are available at http://openoffice.apache.org."

      It's much easier to just give them Open Office than to explain that LibreOffice is a derivative and the reason it forked.

      Who would ever try to explain it like that?

      Me: "LibreOffice is the new version of OpenOffice."
      Co-worker: "Oh, ok."
