With the take-over of Sun by Oracle, they have been seriously rebranding just about everything there is to rebrand: Java, Virtualbox, OpenOffice, MySQL, ...

I noticed this in the About box of OpenOffice 3.3:

openoffice by Oracle

This is pretty much the result of what happens when a major company is on a buying spree to acquire technology from various other companies, and leaving a lot of the community developers seamlingly standing in the cold (although there's a small footnote mentioning their contributions).
