That is what you wrote then. However it is not really based on any data.
At the time IBM really wanted to continue developing its own fork of
OpenOffice and for that they did not want OpenOffice to continue with
the LibreOffice fork, that already existed (and had a license that would
prevent them from making a priprietary fork).

That is the most probably cause for Oracle to move OpenOffice to Apache.
Stallman wasn't really involved with LibreOffice at the time.

See my reply from then:

Oh, and if you go a bit up that thread you see another message that
happened to be by me that mentions that Mint is such an anti-Israeli
distribution that it has partnered to Compulab (an Israeli company) that
ships boxes with Mint pre-installed, and they are clearly listed with an
Israeli flag in their "partners" page:
https://www.linuxmint.com/partners.php

So Clem was ignorant and made incorrect statements almost 15 years ago.
He realized he was wrong and repented (again, almost 15 years ago). And
yet you keep making those false accusations. Even after you were
corrected time and again.
