Pseudonyms aren't evil & have been discussed ad nauseam previously...

Regarding "LO" - the acronym has been in the wild for quite some time:

Editors' review

by: Amy Watson on August 09, 2011

"Summary

After Apache OpenOffice (AOO) was crashing almost constantly I began
searching for a new free office suite. Once I started using LibreOffice
(LO) crashes were a thing of the past. LO is more stable than AOO and
saves projects to Microsoft formats better than AOO. LO uses the "odf"
format as native but will handle a multitude of other formats. If you
have an older MS Office document that MS Office will no longer open you
will find LO will probably open it fine. Power users will need to
install JRE. The vast majority of people will not need JRE. "
