As LibO is a downstream derivate of OOo, apparently any feature from
OOo makes or can make it into LibO (unless removed by the LibO devs

Existing OpenOffice.org features that have been removed, deprecated or
are rumored to be removed soon from LibreOffice according to posts in
the developers' list include: exporting into some formats; updating
dictionaries as extensions; inserting and playing videos through the
embedded media player; macro recorder.
but LibO-specific features do mostly *not* flow back into OOo
(obviously for Licensing reasons).
To be really nitpicking, the license itself would allow it; it's the
OpenOffice.org policy that forbids it.
(Are there any exceptions? Is there
a developer who wants his code go into OOo, too?)
This is being discussed here:
