LibreOffice: OpenOffice.org Liberated

LibreOffice: OpenOffice.org Liberated : "It has been a long time coming, but finally it happened: OpenOffice.org has been forked under the name of LibreOffice. The Document Foundation will oversee the development of LibreOffice. According to the press release, 'The Document Foundation is the result of a collective effort by leading independent members of the former OpenOffice.org community, including several project leads and key members of the Community Council.' Red Hat, Canonical, Google, and Novell are among the backers of The Document Foundation and the new fork."
