Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice forks

       and the definition of plagiarism is ...

          reminds me ...
       "What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
       By any other name would smell as sweet;"  [William Shakespeare]

          yet plagiarism is the taking of another's work for ones own.

Its been two or three years since I've seen a comprehensive list.
Offhand, the only programs I can think of are:
* NeoOffice;
* AndroOpenOffice;
* EuroOffice;
* LibreOffice;
* Apache Open Office;

Lotus Symphony was rolled into Apache OpenOffice. I don't think it exists
as a separate program anymore.
GoOo was rolled into LibreOffice. I don't think it exists as a separate
program anymore;

I don't know what the status of RedOffice is.

The other forks I am aware of, have either been abandoned, or rolled back
into either LibO, or AOo.

I suspect that there were a number of forks that never got on anybody's
radar:
* CD/DVD only distribution as "budget software";
* Vector software for Trojan droppers;
* SoHo support companies that rebranded the software, to preserve their
contract/business model;
* Instant download vendors;
