Bug ID: 101154
Summary: Change problematic "intellectual property" term
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.0.3 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
As shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EshNTl23liY there is a
new confidentiality classification drop-down currently labelled "Intellectual
Property". There are two problems with this:
* the classifications in the drop-down do not actually relate to copyrights or
anything else that might be (poorly) termed "Intellectual Property";
* the term itself - see [1] for a good summary, but essentially, legal (and
supposedly limited) monopolies on reproduction of intellectual creations do not
equal property, however much that continued characterisation might (and does)
benefit those with a vested interest in propagating that legally
misrepresentative perception.
The dropdown would be much better- and more accurately-named "Confidentiality".
