This is on my own time, so nobody needs to worry about being quoted.

But, now that you mention it, if I were to claim in print that LibreOffice 
wasn't a fork, I would receive dozens of people correcting me and calling me

Anyway, my memory of OpenOffice.org is that it was a rather unhappy project, 
repressed by Sun. LibreOffice seems to have much better morale and productivity.
