Pretty much the only "merge" that would happen anyway is if Oracle donate the Trademark, and all other rights to The Document Foundation. I mean, it's hard to see why the Libre Office folks would want to go back anyway. I think it's safe to say, that from Oracle's point of view, that ship has sailed. The only "merge" that makes some sense is to release a build of Libre Office under the name "Open Office" for the sake of those folks who have gone through the process of getting Open Office the "approved" Office solution (and have no wish to do it all again for Libre Office). Mind you, nothing stops Oracle from taking the Libre Office code, and merging it into Open Office if they want to. They could even copy the Libre Office code "as is", rebrand it as Open Office, and release that.
