From what I've been reading, it is indeed a fork of OpenOffice which now |
| 21 |
happens to have just the code from OpenOffice and go-oo. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
But the future will tell us if there will be enough differences to |
| 24 |
justify an ebuild. As it's now a different project, it's pretty possible |
| 25 |
differences will arise. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
It also depends on whether Oracle and go-oo will want to incorporate |
| 28 |
changes from LibreOffice. |
