First Stable Version of LibreOffice 3.3 Released

LibreOffice, the fork of OpenOffice, announced by the Document Foundation almost four months ago has been released. The Document Foundation was formed when a group of employees broke away from their employer Oracle, the owner of OpenOffice, following a spat with the organization over licensing and copyright. The first stable release, LibreOffice 3.3, is now ready to download.
