From <https://www.theregister.com/2020/07/16/libreoffice_ecosystem_beyond_utterly_broken/>: Michael Meeks: “Words fail me to express how beyond-utterly-broken the existing TDF / desktop model is for the ecosystem around selling desktop LibreOffice.” As you may know, LibreOffice is overseen by The Document Foundation, which is a charity registered in Germany. And it currently has about €1.5 million in the bank. However, owing to peculiarities of German law (or maybe just the way they are interpreting it), none of that money is actually allowed to be spent on software development.
