The differences between BrOffice.org and OpenOffice.org are pretty much cosmetic but they represent a important legal issue for BrOffice.org in Brazil. BrOffice.org is recognized not only by the software itself, but also the organization that represents officially the software. If we have the possibility to minimize the references to "OpenOffice.org", thanks to the new brand layer, I think we should do it. We could fall in the case where the user selects to install Fedora in pt_BR but he is not in Brazil, so he will get BrOffice.org anyway. This really will happen, but it is not even near the majority of people. Probably if the person lives in other country except Brazil he will choose another language at installation time and after that will choose the pt_BR langpack in addition, so he won't get BrOffice.org. AFAIK this problem only happens in Brazil, but it might happen in other places in the future. I believe this is why the OOo developers have crated a brand layer.
