Minor nit:

In economic terms, Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are not complementary. 

 - Dennis

In computing, an example of complements are hardware and software.  Software 
vendors want the hardware to be free (more for us!) and hardware vendors want 
the software to be free (more for us!).  Throw in telecommunication carriers, 
smartphones, and software and it gets really exciting.

There is some other term needed for independent producers that deliver 
comparables while cooperating in areas of mutual interest.  Although 
monopolistic competition arises (mines better than yours), it is moderated in 
the case of open-source efforts.  (Perhaps this is because there cannot be 
abuse of, let alone achievement of, monopoly power where feature 
differentiation is in the open-source code base.)

You should have. It was funny. Maybe you need a

LO and AOOo are complementary and they are setup so that
code can move in a very Pro-LO direction. I would like
collaboration between these projects to increase not
decrease.
