I think Libre has "won" and will probably continue to "win" for a while yet. Until then, the others are just free sources of patches. Calligra forked from KOffice, not OpenOffice. It has little or no common code with OpenOffice/LibreOffice, I believe.

Apache OpenOffice 3.4 released Posted May 8, 2012 16:06 UTC (Tue) by sorpigal (subscriber, #36106) [Link] No code, but it's a (somewhat) viable office suite. There just aren't many of those.

Correct. It would be just great if Calligra could spawn the webkit of Office suites (OfficeKit?). With Harmattan Office in the Nokia N9, it looked like this was just about to happen, but Nokia is difficult to predict these days.

My prediction: Nokia will become less and less of a handset maker, and more and more of a patent troll*. Sometime within the next few years, someone will buy the leftovers for the patents and/or to make them go away.
* Yeah, I know that it is not _real_ patent trolling as long as they make products themselves, but I guess you know what I mean.
