The big question is: Why doing LibreOffice that?
The short answer is that the licenses that each organization uses allows
that to happen.
The longer answer is that free qua libre has implications that free qua
open does not have. Implications that the Apache Foundation is
apparently not willing to accept. Likewise, free qua open has

That's not the whole truth. The Apache licence doesn't contain a
copyleft clause - that's true.
But the MPL contains a very weak copyleft. The copyleft of the LGPL is
much stronger.
So: why does LibreOffice use the MPL?
Think about it!
