I did not make myself clear.

It would be great if Oracle joined forces with the LibreOffice effort,
and merge the two (OOo, LibO) together.
Such an attack video might influence Oracle to act and strengthen
OpenOffice.org (OOo is weak
due to the departure of the people who created the Document Foundation
and LibO).
As far as I understand, Oracle did not take a high-level position yet
on the desertion of OOo.
