Hi, I recently installed LibreOffice, I’ve readed that the OpenOffice
devel team have quit and now they’re on The Document Foundation, without any
relation with Oracle… so, why if I go to help → About LibreOffice the
dialog say:
LibreOffice 3.3.0
OOO330m9 (Build:1)
libreoffice-build 3.2.99.2

If you read the notes on LibreOffice they note it’'s new project in the works based on existing OpenOffice work. They’re going through the code they’re trying to remove references to copyrighted material but some is still in the code.
That’s as I understood what they’re happening. Overall they’re trying to keep it OO-like but free of corporate influence.
Some of the OpenOffice people haven’t quit but just joined LibreOffice.
