Explanation from Mike (The Document Foundation) [0]
>Why are we doing this? Well, please read the blog announcement to find out. But TL;DR: The majority of code commits in LibreOffice come from companies in the ecosystem around it. Many of them are finding it difficult to justify investments into LibreOffice, paying developers etc., while other companies/organisations/governments that use LibreOffice simply download it from the TDF website, install it and never contribute anything back.
>That's their right, of course, but it's not great for long-term development of LibreOffice. So by calling the version from TDF "Community", we're stressing that it only has community support, and businesses/large organisations should get LO-based products from the ecosystem.
