Again? Sigh. Isn't that how we got LibreOffice in the first place? (From OpenOffice.)

I don’t think LibreOffice ever really took over the mindspace of OpenOffice anyway. Maybe they can a more distinct split will give it a more independent identity.

Since Collabora already has an online version, maybe they should fork completely and call this offline version something that implies independence. So, I suggest: SolOffice. Haha.

They already have their version, it's called Collabora Online/Office.

Freeoffice as the next name? Seems like they are exhausting them quickly.
