So OnlyOffice is not FOSS because of the AGPL additions that can't be met (you have to use the trademark, but aren't allowed to use the trademark). So EuroOffice can't be built legally.

LibreOffice and Collabora Office are in a fight about governance and contributions. The codebase is old.

"GNOME office" (Abiword, Gnumeric) isn't really developed anymore.

KDE Calligra Office is modern and beautiful, but lacking features.

I think I go back to LaTeX and markdown for all word processing documents. But for spreadsheets? I don't know yet. I will check Calligra Sheets, but I'm not tech savvy enough to contribute seriously.

@lerothas > So EuroOffice can't be built legally.

This is just the *opinion* of #onlyoffice, that doesn’t make it true.

IONOS, the FSF (the organisation holding the copyright on the AGPLv3 licence), as well as the author of the AGPLv3 himself, have a *very different* opinion on this matter, i.e., that the requirements introduced by OO can simply be removed according to section 10 AGPLv3.

Until a court decides on the matter nobody knows for sure.
