Jerry,
Sorry for the delay in reply. My versionrc shows:
$ locate versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/ure/bin/versionrc
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/ure/bin/versionrc

So not much different from yours. My sources.list doesn't contain a 
libreoffice ppa or openoffice ppa as I assume the latter is contained in 
the universe or multiverse lists.
It also won't update the libreoffice packages (although more recent 
versions are available) as it want to remove openoffice.
I cannot imagine that Oracle can influence Canonical or that the 
developers of libreoffice ask for this.
I cannot imagine why my 10.10 shows this behaviour.
