Surely that's just a matter of fact, though? When AOO makes a new release,
it will be a different codebase under a different brand, so on both charts
would show as a new block.
why do you think that it is a different code base? It is exactly the
code base granted by Oracle to the ASF. Ok we cleaned up the code base,
removed external libs, replace some and developed some new things. I
would say normal work in the broadest sense ... Otherwise the code base
would change for every release and we have blocks for each of them.

Michael's has the advantage that it shows the
relative adoption of the various lines, something that Rob's (by including
every possible variant regardless of relevance) tends to hide.

Thanks Simon, unfortunately the representation here, indicating the date of
the last release as the end of the line (literally) is not really the
message I'm after.

Rob. I might need to reuse this, can I assume it is OK to do so. I
don't plan to edit it in any way, just rename it to "oo-derivatives"
(or similar) and move to an apache.org address.
Did you also see Michael Meeks' attempt to visualise this context?
http://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2011-11-18-graphs.html
While it's also flawed, it has a number of advantages over Rob's graph in
helping people understand the current state of the community and the
extent
of its diversity.
