> Why doesn't the Apache Foundation simply merge OpenOffice with LibreOffice?
LibreOffice is under control of the document foundation. So how should one merge single handed into the others realm? Both would need to agree on conditions pf a merge. Currently despite various tries there is no agreement. I think to both projects a merge is not the most important thing.
> Is there some sort of contractual obligation between Apache and Oracle over the use of the trademark name which prohibits them from merging with LibreOffice?
No. Oracle is out of the game for over 8 years. It is ridiculous that anyone believes that Oracle has any interest in any Office Product today. They need to earn money, and if you look at LibreOffice it is a really hard business. The competition is hard, really hard.
