Oh, and not to beat it up, but when I launch LO under Mint 14
and click "Help" / "About LibreOffice", it says that
LibreOffice is licensed under LGPL. Just something you might
want to look at when you get the code re-write done.

Which states that LO (as a whole) is LGPL because of all the code from Oracle
OOo.
It also states that LO is dual LGPL/MPL.
I hadn't seen that page you referenced before, but it is correct in that the
only licence you can be confident applies to any LO source is the LGPL. I
suspect that page will be updated when we're confident that all the legacy code
has been rebased against Apache. And when that will be I don't know, because I
think LO contains chunks of code that Apache aren't planning to audit or release
... oops ... (and we can't, because we don't have the information to check that
it was Oracle code, and we can't relicence it anyway because Oracle gave the
code to Apache, not us :-(
