Libre, Collabora and now Euro. Great news!

[โ€“] jimmy90@lemmy.world -3 points 2 weeks ago

this one is just euro branded from russia

very fishy, stick with the libre and collabra

[โ€“] DmMacniel@feddit.org -3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

And as you can see on the screenshot its all LibreOffice repackaged and or recompiled.

From Wikipedia: Euro-Office is based on software from a more restrictively licensed office suite called OnlyOffice.

Only office is based on LibreOffice?

[โ€“] DmMacniel@feddit.org 7 points 2 weeks ago

No, it means that I was wrong with my assessment and got corrected.

[โ€“] warmaster@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

It's a fully FOSS Only office hard fork. They replaced all the proprietary binaries.

Awesome news

As mentioned on another thread Euro Office has some questionable ties to Russia. Better to just use LibreOffice instead.

[โ€“] cabbage@piefed.social 20 points 2 weeks ago

Euro-Office is a fork of OnlyOffice, which has questionable Russian ties. This is explicitly part of the reason for doing a hard fork:

  • ONLYOFFICE is a Russian company (despite many attempts to hide this), and nearly all developers reside in Russia. Open Source is a global effort, but current political situation makes collaboration hard and trust difficult to earn. Especially when development is not transparent and open. A lot of users and customers require software that is not potentially influenced or controlled by the Russian government.

In general it's worth reading their github readme. They're very open about where they get their support from and what their priorities are, and they also explicitly address their relationship with LibreOffice.

isnt the 2026 version a fork of OnlyOffice instead ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnlyOffice#Organization

Based in Riga, Latvia, OnlyOffice owner Ascensio System SIA was a subsidiary of Russian-based New Communication Technologies

I wouldn't trust only office or the fork euro office tbh

Your viewpoint is far fetched. We don't care about OnlyOffice anymore. EuroOffice is a hard fork. I would say it couldn't have been solved better. There are no more "ties" whatsoever.

[โ€“] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

Why wouldn't you trust the fork? It's open source.
