Canonical, which leads the Ubuntu project, has reportedly decided to switch from the OpenOffice productivity suite to LibreOffice in future versions of the popular Linux distribution.

LibreOffice is a fork in the OpenOffice suite that was created by the volunteers behind OpenOffice.org, who felt Oracle wasn’t supporting the open source community as strongly as it should.
