The code from Apache projects is available for all to use, including
LibreOffice.  The license allows this and the FSF says that the Apache
license is compatible with GPLv3:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#apache2

Also, LibreOffice developers are already looking at areas where they
can take improvements we've made in Apache OpenOffice, such as our new
native SVG support:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-December/021884.html

So we are contributing to LibreOffice, and IMHO this is wonderful!
Of course, I think we'd all prefer for this to be a two-way
collaboration, but I think that will come over time.
