Of course Star Office is still floating around somewhere but it doesn't
bear much resemblance to LibreOffice or even OpenOffice.  So it can't
really count as a fork any more
StarOffice never was a fork, OpenOffice forked off it and then
LibreOffice forked off OpenOffice.  In other words it is the 'new'
thing which is a 'fork' and the 'original' stays the original:).

I thought Sun created OpenOffice when they open sourced StarOffice.

Maybe then StarWriter -> StarOffice -> OpenOffice then were just 'renames', I thought they were forks too, and only LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice.
