We did get Libre office and Apache OpenOffice due to that? I think they both should become obsolete in an ideal world where folks converse in fluent markdown to achieve everything they want in a document.
- trelane 2y agoNo, LibreOffice (and Apache OpenOffice, but Apache OpenOffice is pretty much dead and nobody should use it) are descended from Sun's OpenOffice.org, which is descended from their acquisition of StarOffice. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice LibreOffice uses the OpenDocument standard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument Microsoft's "open" standard, "Office Open XML" was created in response: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML The standardization process was incredibly irregular (see Wikipedia and LWN from that time period.) I'm sure the naming was not intended to sow confusion at all.
