While that might be true to some extend for the Java ecosystem when not
limited to the JVM alone, it has never been a reality for
OpenOffice.org. Claiming otherwise is severely underestimating the
contributions of Sun/Oracle. That does not mean the contributions of
the community outside of Oracle have been small -- however, they up
till now have never been comparable to the contributions of Oracle.
