However, those with that impression are entirely mistaken and it is wrong to imply anyone is attempting the subversion you imply -- no-one has proposed it. Those expressing the impression you describe have either misunderstood or decided to misunderstand. For what it's worth I'm unhappy with many elements of the proposal too, but because it is a mistake to imply that TDF offers support, or that LibreOffice as distributed by TDF is only for "Personal" or "Community" use as these leave corporate community members with more work to do explaining their value, not less. TDF needs to leave room for the companies who invest in the code to sustain themselves, as TDF itself cannot replace their work and its community are unlikely to be able to replace their work as volunteers. It can best do that by avoiding any mention of the field of use of LibreOffice. S.
