Do you even know what you are talking about here? LibreOffice is a fork 
of OpenOffice that occured while Oracle was sitting on OpenOffice for 
ages without publishing any releases or accepting any patches from the 
developers, who in turn got fed up and jumped ship and forked OpenOffice 
to LibreOffice. Nowdays most patches from one find their way to the 
other and the two are near identical in functionality, appearance and 
file formats they support. The main difference you're likely to see is 
the splash screen.

It's a non-issue, and a cosmetic/philosophical one at that.
