Earlier this month we took a snapshot look at LibreOffice.
LibreOffice is an Open Source office suite for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux operating systems. The suite includes six solid applications: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math, and Base. Judging by the titles, I’m sure you can figure out which applications are directly correlated with the Microsoft Office offerings. LibreOffice is supported, documented, and free, by way of a dedicated community base of contributers and developers.
As usual, the 8BIT community left some great comments. One of which asked if LibreOffice was a fork from OpenOffice, indeed he was correct.
And now we know why there was a fork.
