Private copies are indeed a possibility.  During the run up to Y2K our PC 
guys did a thorough analysis of what was running on our PCs, and many 
software packages at that time did install their own private copies.

Hopefully that practice has died out now, but it is still possible.

IIRC OpenOffice used to install a JRE (Java Runtime Environment).  

LibreOffice doesn't install a JRE, but at least the Windows and Linux 
versions suggest that you download it separately from Oracle.  I haven't 
tried installing LibreOffice on a Mac.

If you don't have Java installed LibreOffice (on Windows & Linux) will 
throw up 7 prompts warning you that Java isn't installed on the first 
run, but you can safely ignore these unless you want to use the Database 
package.
