Oh poop!  Maybe they will eventually donate Virtual Box too.

I left Open Office (OO) as soon as I got wind of Libre Office.  I have
several bugs posted in OO that OO refuses to fix.  One is
over eight year old: the one where spaces do not show at the
end of your line.  My bug posting where copying and pasted mixed
format (colors and fonts) screw up mightily is year and years old
too.  I am not sure what Apache is going to do with OO since it is
so bug riddled.
