well it was never 100% clarified from my pov or Iam to lazy to understand it. But my understanding is that LO or the major parts of their source code is under ALv2 and they can't withdraw the ALv2 license even if it looks so. They can only put their changes and extensions to the code under a different license. LO don't talk about it and from my pov it looks not correct how they does it. But I am no lawyer and it seems that nobody is really interested to clarify this finally. And of course for newbies in their code it looks that everything is from them.
