Q&A about Media Articles and Forum Comments - TDF Community Blog

Over the past week, a number of articles have appeared in the media and comments have been posted on forums containing questions – some explicitly stated and others implied – directed at The Document Foundation. We have done our best to gather all these questions and provide a response that clarifies The Document Foundation’s position regarding the claims made in a couple of online posts and the resulting inferences drawn by readers who are only partially informed of the facts. With this Q&A document, we aim to provide clarity, although much of this information has already been provided in the past on this very blog, and all the data cited is available on The Document Foundation’s website (specifically, organisation, governance, ledger and annual report), on TDF dashboard (data relating to development and related activities) and on TDF Matomo site (data relating to downloads).
