Yes, it makes that implication.

If the OOo leadership had listened to me 2 years ago, you would be the
one producing OOoPremium instead of some other group. I came up with the
idea of "OOo Premium" years ago, and I prepared the packages for all the
public domain clipart, photos and a user guide that I hoped would be
included in OOoPremium. Of course, that idea was met with less than
overwhelming enthusiasm. No someone else, years later, has gone and done
it.

I helped found the OpenClipArt project to produce thousands of clip art
images in the public domain for OOo to use. They have been gracious
enough to make all those images PNG files because OOo can't open SVG. In
return all they got was indifference or worse.

Those images are still there. They number at 7,000 by now, and they are
public domain. Is the OOo leadership interested in this yet? I am
exhausted so I will no longer help will that project, but maybe you can
find someone else who will.
