Nah. they will get the trademark, or more exactly, for now, a grant to _use_ the trademark from Oracle. They have been granted a licensed on the Oracle OO code base under ALv2. but in no way does that give them 'official control' of _the_ code base. It just mean that they just acquired _a_ code base, and that they'll be able to do whatever they want with it. that does not give them 'official control' over anything we do, nor does that make them magically upstream.... in 6,12,18 months, whenever/if they graduate and some of the change they do make sens, we will probably treat that project as side-stream, to possibly incorporate sensible changes they may have done, that match with our overall direction. We'll cross that bridge when it gets there, In the mean time, returning to our task to improve LibreOffice is the best service we can do to our users.
