So, #onlyoffice think they found a legal loophole in #AGPLv3 by mandating „the obligation to retain the original product logo“ while at the same time denying any rights to use said (trademarked) logo 🤡
#IANAL but I doubt any judge will agree to this interpretation of „requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions“ (section 7b), but hey, feel free to bring this to court, good luck! 😂

At this point, the question for all other European governments is clear: what are you waiting for? With this decision, the distinction between those who care about digital sovereignty and those who do not becomes stark.
