It was a technique designed to blow competition out of the water by pretending you had something to do a particular task and thus stop competitors developing it. It tends not to work so well with OS as so many write things because they want to. I'm not sure the ODFoundation had anything to do with the Open Document Format other than basking in its glory. The foundations gone, but the format remains - I wonder what sort of jobs these guys will have soon and with whom!
