OpenOffice has multiple unfixed security issues, over a year old, as this image from the Board report says. And no new committers since 2022, and no major release since 2014. Maybe the FOSS community can ask the Apache Software Foundation to finally put it in the Attic, and stop leaving users vulnerable: https://www.apache.org/foundation/contact

It is interesting to note that their brand appears to be strong. Even all these years. I met more people during the past few years who know OpenOffice but not LibreOffice.
Anyway, I am old enough to remember the discussion during the fork. Many were skeptical regarding the license, the development model of LO. Things turned to the good, I would say.
And we even have Collabora Office now.

that's because "OpenOffice" is a great name that everyone intuitively understands, while "LibreOffice" sounds like a library management software.
