Yes, the thirdparty stuff by itself doesn't matter, but as I also

What you also miss is the second point I mentioned, namely what
version will that codebase be?
There is no point in having a 3-4 year old codebase. That would be
useless to TDF/LO (useless to the whole community IMHO - but as it is
nowhere stated what the agreement covers..)
