LO was a fork, but that was the for many months ago.

I didn't know the details of the Calligra fork but I did a bit of
researching. It seems like it was created because ONE person was causing
problems (http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2010/12/rose-by-any-other-name.html) so
the rest moved. However, if everyone but one moves, it is not really a fork,
but a mutiny / change in leadership.
