LibreOffice can and does freely use code from our code base when it is helpful to them, as is allowed by the Apache License Version 2 (ALV2). However the reverse is not possible as there are restrictions in the both the licenses that LibreOffice uses that are not allowed under the ALV2.
The bright side is that any developer can license there individual code any way they choose. So that a contributor to LibreOffice can license there code under either of the licenses that LibreOffice uses and also under the ALV2. Given that scenario Apache OpenOffice could use that code in our code base. The above scenario tends to work best with patches that are submitted by a single contributor to correct a bug or add a new feature. It becomes cumbersome when there is more than one person from LibreOffice contributing as all contributors must agree to add the ALV2 License to the code. Regards Keith N. McKenna
