The code is owned by comunity (1500+ individual people) not by TDF. Each developer own our part from code. And I don't think that majority from this people want to change the licence, because with LGPL+MPL the whole LO code need to be leave open, with apache licence the code can be closed, like IM

The problem is another, you are trying to sow uncertainty here. This is a method I only know of LO / TDF sympatizers and only against OpenOffice. Never have I experienced the LO / TDF sympatizers attacking other Office projects. Likewise, I have not experienced the OO sympathizers try the same
