Hi, Olivier et. al., I just downloaded this updated doc (Chapter 16, app. B), and it states: LibreOffice is distributed under both the Mozilla Public License (MPL) 2.0 ( https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/licenses/) and the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) 3.0+ (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.en.html).
while the official webpage https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/licenses/ states: LibreOffice is made available subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public License v2.0 <https://www.mozilla.org/MPL/> which is reproduced below. So which is true?
