Assuming vmelkton is referring to this
OnlyOffice, it's an independent browser-based office suite, formerly called TeamLab Office, and is entirely unrelated to those other office suites.
OpenOffice.org was a Sun project, started in 2000 from the source code of Sun's proprietary
StarOffice.
LibreOffice was forked from OpenOffice.org after Oracle bought Sun (because people rightly distrust Oracle) and is maintained by The Document Foundation.
Subsequently the OpenOffice.org code/rights was handed over to Apache, who now maintain
Apache OpenOffice.
(There's also a Mac-only
NeoOffice, originally forked from OpenOffice.org, now based on LibreOffice, plus a couple of other forks which are no longer active).
There is a browser-based version of LibreOffice, which is called
LibreOffice Online (but isn't hosted anywhere).
Collabora provide paid "enterprise" rebranded versions of both LibreOffice and LibreOffice Online (but you need to register for access to the demo).
