I find your jokes somewhat hard to parse; I wonder whether this quip,
juxtaposed with you as 'navy' and me as 'pirate' is intended to read as
a qualitative comparison of the relative depth of our experience,
professionalism, or product quality. I would build my defense of that,
not on my MEng (Cantab) but on my decade of mistakes in the world of
Free Software ;-) [ and still learning ].

Looks like a nasty nucleus of potential FUD. If you are aware of some
licensing problem, please send a reasonably detailed notification to
some official contact point; i...@documentfoundation.org might be good
for that.

So you appear to think :-) the work is not yet started; no doubt you'll
enjoy the result.
All the best,
Michael.
