Oracle 'donates' OpenOffice.org to Apache foundation

LibreOffice is such a bad name, hopefully if they merge back to OpenOffice and drop the stupid .org from their name. Is it the name of the project or their website? nobody knows!

I believe they only used OpenOffice.org because OpenOffice was already trademarked.

When they discovered that, it might've been a good time to think up a different name.

Sure, and ditch the LGPL license and adopt the Apache one...
