I have a few questions that don't seem to be fully answered in the post.
> This “Personal Edition” tag ... has the purpose of differentiating the current, free and community-supported LibreOffice from a LibreOffice Enterprise set of products and services provided by the members of our ecosystem.
Will this "LibreOffice Enterprise" be Free as in Freedom? Would I be able to package it up myself and call it "Community ENTerprise Office Suite"?
- buovjaga 6y agoThese enterprise versions are already available since years, for example: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/solutions/collabora-office/ https://www.collaboraoffice.com/solutions/collabora-office/ https://libreoffice.cib.de/ https://libreoffice.cib.de/
- zucker42 6y agoThis isn't really changing anything. LibreOffice is under the GPL. It's just a marketing attempt to get large organizations to realize that they should contribute back to the ecosystem if they rely on LibreOffice.
- blendergeek 6y agoLibreOffice is currently under the LGPLv3 and the MPLv2, not the GPL. Further, the document refers to 'new products' that could be under the 'LibreOffice Enterprise' umbrella. Could any of these be proprietary? Do we have any assurances?
- zucker42 6y agoYou are correct. I don't know how I fabricated that idea. In response to your second point, there seems to be strong opposition to open core from some key players in the community.
