Una lettera aperta agli utenti di suite per ufficio, poco prima dell'annuncio di Euro-Office
«Negli ultimi giorni avrete letto diversi articoli che annunciano l'arrivo di EuroOffice, presentato come la prima suite per ufficio open source sviluppata in Europa. Ci sentiamo in dovere – seppur a malincuore, poiché l'open source dovrebbe basarsi sulla trasparenza e non sull'inganno – di correggere questa affermazione.

An open letter to office suite users, just before the Euro-Office announcement - TDF Community Blog
Dear office suite users, In recent days you will have read various articles announcing the arrival of Euro-Office, which is being “marketed” as the first open-source office suite developed in Europe. We feel compelled — reluctantly, since open source should rest on transparency, not deception — to correct this claim. The first open-source office suite developed in Europe was OpenOffice.org in 2001, based on StarOffice’s source code, followed by LibreOffice from 2010. These are two gen…

It is, while completely expectable, still surprising to me that when I talk about software on here and particularly services like Github, all the replies assume I'm doing open source work only or primarily.
I do wonder if this shapes a lot of the thoughts about AI on Mastodon. It's a niche group. (Remember approximately 3% of developers contribute to open source!)

I’m still completely lost with logic of JA4 patent licensing and actual incompatibility with the copyleft-license. So it seems to be a patent-based license and really risky to implement if you want to keep your actual software open source.
Did someone explore alternatives to avoid this? and especially other format which are open source friendly?
