That's simply false. LibreOffice has, since the 2010 fork of the code
base and especially since the exodus of developers to The Document
Foundation [0], gained a great number of improvements [1] and is now the
clear inheritor of active development.

Oracle's behaviour (as holder of the OpenOffice trademark) shows they
have no interest in a free-software OpenOffice. Even Oracle Linux no
longer has OpenOffice, instead shipping LibreOffice [2].

Claiming they're the same product is ignoring the transfer of
development away from the OpenOffice.org code dump, and to LibreOffice
as the actively-developed product.
