unopkg is in the same situation, of course.

Thanks. I edited the proposal page
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Features%2FApacheOpenOffice&diff=322422&oldid=322205
to reflect feedback from this discussion.

I would find it just reasonable that openoffice.org and the oo*
launchers are kept free for Apache OpenOffice. ...
Apache OpenOffice is the
newcomer to the distribution, so IMHO it is your responsibility to
resolve any clashes with already present components

This is going towards getting political... Let's say that, at the very least, nobody will ever invoke "openoffice.org" if he wants to run "libreoffice", regardless of which software is the newcomer. So at least this source of confusion should go away, again by pure common sense and not even taking trademarks into account.

LibreOffice modules could
reasonably adopt the lo* convention to reflect the current naming.
Sorry, but I do not want having to explain to users (and bug reporters)
why running ooffice (oowriter,...) on command line suddenly fails

It would be possible to think about a (long-term) transition and start adding "lowriter" and similar aliases, while keeping the current "oowriter" alias still linked to LibreOffice for continuity with F18. I surely don't want to break the user experience, but in the long term (after F19) confusing aliases should be reassigned or (probably better) dropped.

Regards,
  Andrea.
