- JoshTriplett 11y agoOpenOffice has not been relevant for a while; development has moved to LibreOffice. See https://lwn.net/Articles/637735/ https://lwn.net/Articles/637735/
- subudeepak 11y ago:) Agree on that ! [Have not used any office in a while now - Markdowns have been sufficient]
- makomk 11y agoThey're distributing LibreOffice now too, presumably without bothering to ask for the permission of the actual developers.
- yellowapple 11y agoThey technically don't need permission to perform the redistribution, seeing as LibreOffice is FOSS and distribution of software is permitted. However, they do need permission to claim to be representatives of the LibreOffice developers.
- JoshTriplett 11y agoAnd whether they need permission or not, bundling malware into the installer is evil.
