Apache will likely release OOo under their permissive license allowing the code to be incorporated into proprietary software.

So why do Oracle want to make the OOo code available to Microsoft and IBM for use in their office suites? This may make it harder for OOo to compete with proprietary office software.

I think the Apache bureaucracy will kill that branch of the project and development will continue on the LibreOffice branch.
