Eurooffice are the good people here.

At first, it seemed to me that Euro-Office simply removed any mention of ONLYOFFICE and its authors because they didn't want to be associated with a Russian product (even though it’s based in Latvia). The developers wanted the origin of the product and its authors to be mentioned in the 'About' section and somewhere in the README like based on ONLYOFFICE. I think it would be polite of euro-office.

But as I understand it, the Reddit and Lemmy users see the problem in the fact that you must use someone else's logo, which you can't use.
