That page refers to the binary. And you're correct, the binary is LGPL3 (in fact, given the licencing murkiness now Oracle has donated OOo to Apache, maybe it isn't. Anyways, that WAS true before Oracle changed the licence).
As for MPL, look here ...
http://www.documentfoundation.org/develop/
Let's split the LO code base in two - the code that came from OOo, and the code that's been added whether Go-OO or LO.
The OOo code has been relicenced Apache.
So, it's a fair claim that you can copy all of LO without going near the (L)GPL. To be safe, yes you probably would want to make sure that all the Oracle code had been relicenced as AL2.
Cheers,

For those who did not bother following links: yes, LO *is* licensed under LGPLv3 (and also MPL - dual licensed).
