Hi :) It is a good find but contains many inaccuracies and needs a lot of tidying up! Mostly due to recent history changing things around a bit. The relevant table
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spreadsheet_software#Specifications has no row for LibreOffice. Watch out though as the releases mentioned for OpenOffice are point releases only, such as 3.0 & 3.1 & 3.2. It doesn't mention sub-points such as 3.3.2 & 3.3.3 which is good because OpenOffice didn't develop those versions. Hopefully my edit to the "Spreadsheets that are parts of suites" section in the section about Free/open source(?!) clarifies about GO-oo a bit Andy? Feel free to edit if i got it wrong. Within both OpenOffice now and in the past and in LibreOffice there are some devs that are paid by companies and some that work for free and some that do both of course! I think that most of the initial 20 TDF Founders were working for free but i could easily be wrong.

It concerns "fork of OpenOffice.org by key developers OpenOffice.org". It was my understanding that most the developers were paid by Sun/Oracle and were not part of LibreOffice.
