Hi :) Thanks :) The only thing wrong appears to be the extra software that was not clearly labelled as being separate from LibreOffice.
It is fine for 3rd party sites to provide LibreOffice for download. Similarly for 3rd parties providing LibreOffice on Cd/Dvd or other physical media along with other software. People can even charge for providing the service and/or for the physical media as long as they provide links to the free Source Code. If they charge there is some expectation of them providing some reasonable share of the profit back into the LibreOffice community. I think such endeavours can use the "Community Logo" https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOffice_external_logo_300px.png as described in this link https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding#Logo_resources_for_community_members_and_external_use The problems arise when people make modifications. My feeling is that clicking on a download link on a 3rd party site and 1st getting some 3rd party tool that is not LibreOffice means it's a modification and shouldn't use the logo or the name. I guess we should push this to the marketing list for them to take care of?
