The biggest problem for OpenOffice.org as an Apache project, especially given the existence of a vibrant LibreOffice, is what companies are going to fund OpenOffice.org development and why? IBM will because they have a commercial product, sure, but who else? If there are no other companies funding significant development efforts (which in practice means they have to have a commercial product), then the rationale for a company to do all of their development in the open (and possibly risk a competitor taking their code and using it in a competing product with little or no effort contributed) tends to destroy the value of the Apache project. With Libreoffice taking away a large number of the community developers, it's not clear there will be enough non-IBM corporately funded developers to make OpenOffice.org successful.
