That's not nominative use.  Nominative use would be to use the
trademark in talking about the trademarked product.  Using the
trademark to describe some other product is not nominative use.  This
argument is even stronger when we have, as we do, documented cases of
users being confused, thinking they are getting OpenOffice, but
instead getting LibreOffice.
