  • VCSamples

    Discontinued Samples for VC++

    • Microsoft used to distribute source code for a WordPad sample app with Visual Studio.

    https://github.com/microsoft/VCSamples/tree/master/VC2010Sam...

  • LibreOffice

    Read-only LibreOffice core repo - no pull request (use gerrit instead https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/) - don't download zip, use https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/bundles/ instead (by LibreOffice)

    • Both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are descendents of the original OpenOffice (what you're probably thinking about.)

    LibreOffice is under very active development and can be downloaded from https://www.libreoffice.org/

    Apache OpenOffice is effectively abandonware at this point, see https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Product_Release It's mostly been maintenance releases since 2013.

    If you want LibreOffice with support (or just want to support development), you probably want Collabora.
