Personally I think the ASF should graciously accept the transfer, then promptly hand the whole kit over to TDF (nice big FU to Oracle for all the Java/Harmony BS). Then TDF can officially kill oo.org and has full control over everything.

I haven't seen that Oracle has assigned the copyrights on their OOo source code to the ASF. It seems that, instead, Oracle intends to distribute their OOo source code under the the terms of Apache License version 2.
