The suite maintains compatibility with all competitors file formats. You can import or save from Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The application is open source and licensed under the LGPL. What that means for you is that it is free. Other handy features, such as a built in PDF creator allows you to save documents in a format that anyone can easily read. LibreOffice is also fully compatible with OpenOffice 3.3, supporting all of its newest additions.
Its developers' goal is to produce a vendor-independent office suite with ODF support and without any copyright assignment requirements.
