So if someone from Oracle choose to build and maintain it for Fedora
and cleared any trademark issues, it would be okay?.

It doesn't require a person from Oracle. *Anyone* interested enough to
volunteer can do it.

Isn´t "Firefox" also trademaked by Mozilla Inc.? Am I missing
something?

I didn't say anything about trademarks but anyone volunteering to
package any software has to take into consideration the trademark
guidelines of the software in question. For Firefox, if you patch it
without upstream signing off on the patches, you will have to rename the
software. I don't think there are any problems with Openoffice.org
trademark for the purposes of packaging it in Fedora.

What about LibreOffice?

IMO it should be one or the other, and given the politics involved, I
personally would prefer that LibreOffice gets the nod by most of the
distro's that do not somehow, have a dog in this fight.

Interestingly, I note that a day after LO announces a final 3.3, so does
OOo. To me that brings up a question that is OT for this list, but if you
let your imagination out to play without a chaperon, you all will ask it
too.
