(2011-04-20) Oracle Spins Out Open Office

Oracle is spinning out OpenOffice to a community project. Would the Document Foundation be a likely successor? That would be quite a surprise but a welcome one, too. The Document Foundation is a creation born out of frustration after Oracle purchased Sun. In September 2010, the group formed after Oracle refused to turn OpenOffice over to the open-source community. They forked OpenOffice and created Libre Office.
