![]() Tough it branded it's still open source LibreOffice. Collabora has some sponsors which allowed them to develop LibreOffice for IOS and Android and also spend a load of their own time to get this done and get you these apps for free. The LibreOffice for IOS and Android Apps are today branded as "Collabora Office", reason is one has to pay (infrastructure, tools, time) to get an app in the different appstores. There's also a CIB build of LibreOffice which also provides enterprise level support (never used it but think this is branded as Libreoffice Power By CIB). The single (most important) reason Collabora Office exists it is just another build of the LibreOffice code which enables Collabora to get you (companies, organisations) Enterprise- and Long Term Support, if that's important to you it's more like a "Powered by Colabora" LibreOffice. A fork would mean breaking and never look back, like both Apache OO and Libreoffice forked from the original project. Collabora Office is not a Fork but rater a Branch as it closely follows LibreOffice's branch while major releases are based on the LO Still (stable) and pulling patches in during the lifecycle of that version while pushing new features and patches upstream to LibreOffice.
