Indeed.

And here in Brazil, they couldn't keep the name OpenOffice and it had to be rebranded as BrOffice. I have not seen how the recent movements are, but I wish that the BrOffice name were dropped and LibreOffice were adopted, so that we have fewer reasons for confusion.

But I do realize that changing rules in the middle of the game is troubling.

If anybody has any authoritative word on the subject of changing BrOffice back to LibreOffice, that would be appreciated.
