That's simply false. LibreOffice has, since the 2010 fork of the code base and especially since the exodus of developers to The Document Foundation [0], gained a great number of improvements [1] and is now the clear inheritor of active development. Oracle's behaviour (as holder of the OpenOffice trademark) shows they have no interest in a free-software OpenOffice. Even Oracle Linux no longer has OpenOffice, instead shipping LibreOffice [2]. Claiming they're the same product is ignoring the transfer of development away from the OpenOffice.org code dump, and to LibreOffice as the actively-developed product.
