    LibreOffice vs Apache OpenOffice Comments

    LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice and is considered to have been more extensively developed since then. Otherwise, the philosophy is the same: an open source office suite designed to wrest back control from proprietary privacy destroyers like Microsoft.

    LibreOffice is (literally) what OpenOffice would be if it was still actively developed.
