OpenOffice still being recommended despite year-old unfixed security issues

The Git log is also almost entirely two people removing whitespace, changing the case of HTML tags and tweaking comments: https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commits/trunk

Here's also the Apache Software Foundation's Security Team minutes with "openoffice (Health amber): Three issues in OpenOffice over 365 days old and a number of other open issues not fully triaged":

The OpenOffice name should be donated to LibreOffice.

They could/should security patch the last stable version of OpenOffice, keep that release maintained (only security fixes) and its downloads alive so people who want bug-for-bug compatilibity have a safe off-ramp.

Then either the LibreOffice or the OpenOffice could be sunset, or OpenOffice could be a corporate friendly version of LibreOffice only sold together with support contracts.

Such a waste of a great name and brand.

mystified5016•9mo ago
Honestly, why is OpenOffice still around? Does it offer anything that LibreOffice hasn't superceded?

At this point, keeping it alive seems almost malicious. The OpenOffice name is so much more approachable and attractive to new users, but it's so old that nobody should be installing it now. Keeping the GitHub updated with whitespace changes could be interpreted as intentionally misleading people into thinking it's actually being maintained and updated.

It really, really needs to be retired and have all websites redirect to LibreOffice instead.
