There was quite a lengthy discussion on the discuss list months ago
about the same topic. Many things were written. I think that what would
be really helpful would be if someone were to review the various app
stores rules and terms, and identify the ones we can readily work with
and the other ones where we would have a major legal problem. Would you
like to drive this?

Also, let's remember that LibreOffice has various parts of code licensed
under three licenses:
- LGPL v3
- LGPL v3 +
- MPL (Mozilla public license).

Hope this helps,

Charles.
