Why should The Document Foundation make a statement about what Oracle 
does?  Nothing in this or other articles has indicated that Oracle will 
give up the copyright to the OpenOffice.org name to anyone else.  I do 
not see them giving the copyright to TDF.  If they do then that would be 
reason for TDF to comment.

My 2cents.
