       @itsfoss if it migrate from ooxml to odf, then  I welcome it! But if it will just rebranding, without fundamental changes, then I see no point in that... Russian roots of OnlyOffice is not so Russian anymore(as i know, developers were migrated to Turkey... but maybe I don't see the whole picture).

       @itsfoss You mean Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered some collateral damage for Russians? Controversial? Compared to murdering neighbours? Bucha ring any bells?

       @itsfoss Malus mentionned ? (For the context, it writes specifications based on open source code then writes code from scratch based on the specifications to bypass the license)

       @itsfoss onlyoffice is AGPL3 so as long the euro-office stays AGPL I would say dispute is closed. It would be the same as if oracle will scream about mariadb taking their MySQL customers. I don’t see any problem with fork as long it respects licence, which looks to me is. So what.

       @itsfoss hearing that it's Russian developed, I'm obviously prejudiced. And I do think that's the main issue. It's not the fork, but questioning their integrity.

       @itsfoss I don't understand why Europe just doesn't support LibreOffice instead.
