Ich verstehe die Entscheidung für OnlyOffice als Basis für das Euro-Office nicht. Folgendes fällt mir dazu ein:
- Die russische Herkunft und Verbundenheit
- Zusatzbedingungen zur APGL = verkrüppelte Open Source
- Das ODF Dateiformat wird nicht nativ unterstützt und das von OnlyOffice exportierte ODF Format ist nicht vollständig kompatibel. ODF ist in der öffentlichen Verwaltung jedoch verbindlicher Standard

Was führte zur OnlyOffice Entscheidung ?

I don't understand the decision to use OnlyOffice as the basis for Euro-Office. Here are my thoughts:

- Its Russian origin and ties

- Additional conditions to the APGL = crippled open source

- The ODF file format is not natively supported, and the ODF format exported by OnlyOffice is not fully compatible. However, ODF is a mandatory standard in public administration.

What led to the OnlyOffice decision?

@ChaP hey there!

1. What matters is it's open source software. The Euro-Office team is working on the code to make sure it's a reliable and transparent product. You can read about the current state of things and what's next in the article.

2. The licensing question is explained in detail here: https://nextcloud.com/blog/euro-office-license-compliance-and-what-open-source-means/

3. ODF compatibility is something we are currently working on, as mentioned in the article as well.

So @clero you are right in your findings, thanks!

Euro-Office reviewed the terms in the ONLYOFFICE codebase and found contradictions. We explain the legal basis, what we removed, and why.

@nextcloud @ChaP @clero Couldn't you have come up with a better name than "Euro-Office"? I know ONLYOFFICE wasn't a great name either, but... competing for terrible product names isn't a competition worth winning... 😅
@neal @nextcloud @ChaP There are already LibreOffice, OnlyOffice and Microsoft Office, so I don't know how they could have found something better than Euro-Office. There's also Google Docs and Proton Docs so Maybe "Euro docs" but it's definitively not better 😅.
