I'd have to go spelunkling in the OO site to check but I expect that it could be because official government agencies and such have adopted OO. I know there are state governments in Germany that have mandated OSS like Linux and OO for their internal use.
The same in Spain. A regional government not far from where I live mandated a migration to open source software a few years ago, saving millions on software licenses.
