Understand. I know almost nothing at all about Mac computers, but, I was not aware that you had to pay for any version of LibreOffice.
Both libre office and open office came from the same place and are very much compatible. So if you are able to install LibreOffice no. Should just be able to keep working as usual. https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/install-howto/macos/ My best guess is that if you're not finding a free version of LibreOffice that your computer is very old and no longer supported, but every part of that is speculation.
