[Trisquel-users] Re : LibreOffice: from repos or their own website?

LibreOffice is copylefted, whereas OpenOffice is distributed under a  
permissive license. So, yes, it is a licensing "issue".

Apache is far from dead! But Apache OpenOffice really is. There used to be  
some IBM developers working on it (because IBM has Symphony, which is  
proprietary software derived from OpenOffice) but they stopped.
