      I figured OnlyOffice was a site that I could post dirty Word documents and poorly-constructed PowerPoints to get bid on by desperate guys who are into business communication.

      Probably not the most popular opinion, but the EU is right to distrust onlyoffice. It’s made by people who feel the need to hide under a chain of shell companies, and the whole project originated in Russia, where the government is known to use the IT sector for political purposes (see VK nationalization and Kaspersky allegations and why it’s banned in the US and banned for government use in some EU countries). Onlyoffice have also consistently been questioned over their FOSS policies.

      So it appears that in addition to the standard AGPL they included a provision that required the original logos to remain in the service. I guess there’s ways to work around that.

      Other than that, it’s Free software, so anyone can deploy it anywhere they want, they just have to make the source available.

      The article does a lot of quoting but doesn’t explain the „licensing debate“. If EuroOffice is distributed under the AGPLv3, what’s the problem? (If it’s not, yes, that would be a problem, but the article doesn’t really say anything)
