+Started as an extension called "Sun Report Builder" then "Oracle Report Builder"
+[http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/reportdesign],
+which got bundled with LibreOffice, then converted to an optionally installable
+(but installed by default) part of LibreOffice proper.
+
+Uses the Pentaho Reporting Flow Engine of Pentaho BI [http://www.pentaho.com/].
