I wouldn't put in that simple words. Actually, LibreOffice is open to 
any developer, individual or company that whishes to contribute to our 
code and endeavour. On the TDF announcement we invited Oracle to join 
us and suggested them to offer the brand OpenOffice to TDF (later this 
was politely declined by Oracle).

LibreOffice has many contributions of Novell engineers, as well as 
Oracle engineers too. But is is not an Novell product nor TDF is a 
Novell shop. The Next Decade Manifesto says a lot on our purpose and TDF 
is better described in this page:
http://www.documentfoundation.org/

Please help us not to make the same mistake as OpenOffice.org did.

Kind regards
