It would look like Word Perfect
Forks and derivative software [wikipedia.org] Well that looks like a mess! At least the re-mergers keep it from being a 100% textbook case of the xkcd on standards? [xkcd.com] .
At this point it hardly even makes sense to refer to LibreOffice as a fork, except in the barest historical sense.
More like "OpenOffice is a primitive ancestor of LibreOffice" or something.
It's like insisting on always calling Joomla a "fork of Mambo" or something ...
