You'll notice a comment in there from me.

Basically Corel are seeing their market disappear thanks to both a free
office system and an international standard which they don't support,
and are getting pissy about it.  They don't want to interoperate because
honestly it would give Wordperfect users an opening to *migrate* to
OOo/SO.  Also, who knows if Microsoft's cash injection a few years ago
didn't have some strings attached which may be playing a part in this
decision...
