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.
This is a technicality. An important one, but still a technicality.
What matters here, and what nobody can reasonably challenge, is that
contributions (code, translations) made to OpenOffice can be reused and
included in other projects, and specifically in LibreOffice.
Relicensing is on another level of discussion and it only concerns the
project that is reusing the contributions, so it is confusing to mix the
two issues.
