The lesson is: don't let your open source name and trademark get captured and held hostage by a third party organization. If a company open sources a project and it gains significant outside developer interest, the courteous thing to do would be to pledge the name as well to a community organization.

In case of Open Office at least, the community value was greater than the brand name.
