The Foundation Is Strong: What TDF Is, Why It Matters, and Where It Is Going - TDF Community Blog (blog.documentfoundation.org)

The Document Foundation was created in 2010 with a single, non-negotiable premise: that a free, fully-featured office suite, built on open standards and governed in the public interest, is infrastructure for democracy. Not a product. Not a market position. Infrastructure, the kind that belongs to everyone and can be taken from no one.

Sixteen years later, that premise is under pressure. And it is worth stating clearly, on the record, what TDF is, what it has done, what it is doing, and why the decisions it has made – including the difficult ones – follow directly from the founding commitment rather than betraying it.

Quite well written post. That Collabora (the unnamed entity) has chosen to extort the foundation and use its power to make the foundation fail its legal promises (and therefore force it to be disolved legally), only speaks badly of Collabora.

that was an uplifting read for me. wish I encountered more upholding of principles out in the regular social media landscape
