Comparing OpenOffice and LibreOffice

Conclusions

After three years of separation, the LibreOffice project is gaining momentum on several fronts. Ironically, although LibreOffice is known as the fork, OpenOffice has undergone a more significant transition, with new developers and new corporate leadership from IBM. Apart from the OpenOffice sidebar, which was inherited from Symphony, LibreOffice seems to have taken more steps and put more energy into the latest release.
