i have an idea.
1. there will be a crippled QT style LTS version only "community edition" or onlyoffice style "community edition" which is just to appease the "foss" gods while in reality it is crippled and there to force people to "pay up".
2. if not the first part, second one would be kinda like how "enterprise" users get updates and "features" first and the "community" edition would get those as afterthought. This one is what collabora at least for what i know is doing for a long time with their customers but once the "business" version goes popular and the companies get more into serving these users, the "freeloaders" would be given less and less preference.
3. once companies like Collabora or others get "big enough", i see no problem for microsoft or other company to do "embrace, extend and extinguish" because that is essentially what collabora has done to libreoffice.
i think the second one or a combination of both would be the future of libroffice in my opinion from the stuff TDF is putting out.
Question: why is TDF a marketing machine for collabora and other companies?
