#OnlyOffice thought they came up with that one trick that #Gnu #FSF #FOSS hates!

Instead, they ended up giving away their source (which they were trying to keep de facto proprietary), all because they didn't fully read the license they were trying to pervert.

A truly amazing self-own.

FSF says OnlyOffice cannot use AGPLv3 to add extra fork restrictions, including mandatory branding retention in Euro-Office dispute. ⚖️
It argues AGPL guarantees downstream freedom, so forked versions may remove logos or attribution constraints beyond license terms. 🔓

In the continuing OnlyOffice drama:

The Free Software Foundation’s Licensing and Compliance Manager, stated that AGPLv3 cannot be used to restrict software freedom for downstream recipients.

The organization argues that ONLYOFFICE’s requirement that distributors retain the original product logo constitutes an additional restriction that recipients are entitled to remove.

I want to setup #office integration into my #NextCloud instance.

Now there is the whole #onlyoffice - #eurooffice dispute.

The easiest integration in nextcloud itself doesn't work for me, probably something related to reverse proxying. So I need to setup a dedicated instance.

I need to do it the proper way. But as a proud #european I'd rather go for Euro office right away, the dispute made me not want to install onlyoffice. #Dilemma
