Wait, LO froked from OO like 3 minutes ago (in developer years), so it seems unlikely the did much of anything other than writing around proprietary code, and most of that work is duplication of what was in OO.

No. Libre followed on from Go-OO, which had been going a lot longer than three minutes (late 2007, AFAIK) Personally, I think the LGPL is a much better fit than Apache in the circumstances so I rather hope the Apache-OO withers on the vine.
