HI Martin See second paragraph in the page: ------8<----- There is no requirement to assign your copyright to anyone in order to get your code included into LibreOffice - all contributions are welcome, but we do ask that you license your code to us jointly under both the Mozilla Public License v2 and the GNU Lesser GPL v3+ licenses. Please see our guidelines for licensing and copyright attribution (which are there solely to make our life easier). You can also see a list of past and present contributors and their license statements. In addition you can read historic details about the process of re-basing LibreOffice onto the Apache licensed based. ------8<-----
