LibreOffice is a productivity suite that is compatible with other major office suites, and available on a variety of platforms. The goal is to produce a vendor-independent office suite with ODF support and without any copyright assignment requirements. The name is a hybrid word with the first part Libre, which means Free in both Spanish and French and the English word Office. As free software it is free to download, use and distribute.

Version 3.3

Impress in LibreOffice 3.3 beta 1.

On September 28, 2010, some members of the OpenOffice.org Project formed a new group called The Document Foundation, and made available a rebranded fork of OpenOffice.org which was based on the upcoming 3.3 version. It was hoped that the LibreOffice name would be provisional as Oracle was invited to become a member of the Document Foundation, and was asked to donate the OpenOffice.org brand to the project.[3] As a result, LibreOffice uses the same version number as OpenOffice.org.

Canonical, Novell and Red Hat plan to include LibreOffice in forthcoming versions of their operating systems.[4] Go-oo improvements are being merged into LibreOffice. Improvements done in other forks are expected to be incorporated as well.[5][6]
