Not that LibreOffice as a name doesn't have its own problems. Libre is
pronounced differently in Spanish and French, I'm told, and the word is
a struggle for Americans. But what's done is done. Now is the time for
everyone to get behind the new name.

Since I grew up to the ripe old age of 7 in the Rio Grande Valley of
South Texas, some of the spanish I learned has stuck, especially the bad
words.
I don't understand why, but Libre to me says Liberty. I would pronounce
it Leebreh, which is probably totally wrong. I was surprised when
someone said that Libre means free.
