Why would a business get off community edition with LibreOffice? If they wanted to pay for office, wouldn’t they just go Microsoft?
I get that they want funds to develop LibreOffice but it’s not like the money is being spent on development at all.

- mgbmtl 6y agoDon't partners like Collabora hire devs? "TDF highlights that 73% of commits are from developers employed by these partners, including Collabora, Red Hat and CIB/allotropia, which are made in the course of supporting their enterprise customers."
- gabereiser 6y agoRed Hat pays Red Hat devs from Red Hat subscriptions, not from LibreOffice donations. If TDF wants to prove the money is going to devs they are going to have to do better than a statement that their partners are the contributors.
- detaro 6y agoWhy are you talking about donations? TDF is saying that businesses shouldn't use the community version and instead buy a supported version from their partners. Unsurprisingly, if you do that, their partners get money.
