The documents are under an open source license. It's not the foundation or some other institution that's the owner of the documents. We can use and work on them under the terms of the CC-BY, GPL or whatever free license, they are released. > Indeed, what will happen with OOo generally (a bigger question, one > that's been around since Oracle bought Sun)? > The community invite Oraclle to join the foundation. > Some of the answers are probably up to us to decide, and some depend on > others: what happens with OOo, and whether the LibreOffice team want to > reuse or adapt our docs and what relationship they might like with us.

The goal of the foundation initiative is not to create a fork. It's now - after ten years - time to set up an independent foundation that holds the code and the trademark / naming of OpenOffice.org. As I mentioned before Oracle is invited to join the foundation (like other contributors). There is enough space for them to jump in.
