Their were real solid reasons behind accepting the donation... even though most did not pan out, just the relicensing ALONE was a major Good Thing for the OpenOffice ecosystem. This allowed for key and provable IP provenance, something that was lacking in LibreOffice, and known/trackable licensing.
Even so, bemoaning the ASF for even trying seems very disingenuous and somewhat ignorant of the facts.
