OpenOffice's father is Oracle.

LibreOffice is a fork (actually it's not even a fork) of OpenOffice. The development team from OpenOffice are the same people who are now doing LibreOffice.

On 28 September 2010, several members of the OpenOffice.org project formed a new group called "The Document Foundation". The Document Foundation created LibreOffice from their former project in response to Oracle Corporation's purchasing of Sun Microsystems over concerns that Oracle would either discontinue OpenOffice.org, or place restrictions on it as an open source project, as it had on Sun's OpenSolaris

There is already some differences between OpenOffice and LibreOffice (list on the wiki page BTW). As time goes on, OpenOffice and LibreOffice will become more different to each other.

Ultimately, LibreOffice will be the better because it's the one with the most developers.

LİbreOffice is much more actively developed then OpenOffice. And ıt's going very well now.
