Just to clarify, NextCloud aren't forking LibreOffice, they're forking OnlyOffice. They're two very different projects (OnlyOffice is a web based office suite, whereas LibreOffice is primarily desktop based, although there is work on making a web version)

There's apparently been a fallout between ColabraOffice and LibreOffice, which is why LibreOffice is now building a web version.
