Hi Christoph,
Thanks for reaching out here =) no-one is questioning the very
significant advantages of your work, or of consistent palettes across
platforms, indeed it all sounds like a great feature.

Possibly someone can help out with this; unfortunately being an
extension will reduce the up-take to some regrettably tiny fraction of
the user-base.

Of course, if you can move on the licensing: ie. giving a license that
is compatible with our goals as a Free-Software project, then I suspect
TDF could give you some guarentee that at least the TDF distribution of
LibreOffice (which is some big chunk of the user-base) will not itself
be distributing a modified palette with this name - might that work ?
Ultimately, I think the idea that someone is going to come and modify
the palette down-stream from TDF is extremely unlikely anyway (FWIW) -
but the principle of being able to change and improve the software, data
etc. is an -extraordinarily- precious one to many.
So - in many ways I think we're splitting hairs here; there is
little-to-no risk of changing it, so the freedom we're fighting for will
in effect never be used, but - still, I fully understand why people want
to protect that freedom =)

Thanks for supporting LibreOffice ! =)
All the best,
Michael.
