While I've been doing my best to ignore this thread, I have failed. My apologies.

Some may find your brief statement unclear. In the interests of clarity and good relationships:
Novell did not start LibreOffice. They started Go-OO, which was a downstream and partial fork
of OOo. When LibreOffice was started by a variety of community members, Novell ended Go-OO,
donated the relevant parts of the work to LibreOffice and directed their staff to join its
community.
