You are correct: the French government added a huge amount of regulatory compliance work: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2023-February/089977.html The regulatory filing looks like a lot of work and I assume that TDF staff have little if any experience preparing detailed regulatory filings like this so I would guess that the BoD might need to contract the work out or hire additional staff if they deem the work to be worth the cost. This issue isn't the only new regulatory requirements in the Mac App Store: the EU has imposed new requirements on "traders" that must be submitted before TDF can release a new version in the Mac App Store. From what I understanding, that is what is blocking Mac App Store updates in all countries: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2024-November/092704.html -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
