Is Libre Office the same/identical application as Open Office or are  they

The names and icons of the applications look  identical.

If not, can you briefly explain the difference.

LibreOffice is more highly developed, it is developing faster and has a more 
certain future.  Substantial clean-up of the code has made it about 30% smaller 
so it's faster to download and since it is more streamlined, hopefully it runs a 
bit faster.  

LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org separate projects.

Please note that some GNU/Linux distros distributed (distribute?)
OpenOffice.org with the Go-oo patches. Even if branded OpenOffice.org,
this is closer to LibreOffice than to OpenOffice.org.
