Euro-Office Wants to Replace Google Docs and Microsoft Office

Nice to see it _not_ being based on LibreOffice since I'm really not a huge fan of it, mostly due to the (clunky) interface and poor responsiveness. Never used OnlyOffice but it looks much more lightweight, so hopefully it'll be better

It has been alleged that the company behind OnlyOffice is selling a modified version (P7/R7 Office) is Russia. These allegations aren't completely meritless.

For example, a commit to a third-party (?) P7-Office-plugin repo is titled "Replace OnlyOffice with R7-Office and fix encoding (UTF-8 no BOM)" (emphasis mine). (https://github.com/r7-consult/plugin-grammalecte/commit/ca45...)

The R7-Office FreeBSD port contains files named "onlyoffice-docxf.xml" and "onlyoffice-oform.xml". (https://www.freshports.org/editors/linux-r7-office/)

A GhostBSD package contains files that contain Ascensio System SIA copyright notices. (https://pkg.ghostbsd.org/stable/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/... --- Zstandard-compressed tarball)

I wonder if this is kosher:

On the one hand, the authors of AGPL certainly didn't intend the "Additional Terms" to be a means to restrict forking. On the other hand, Ascensio System SIA apparently wants to restrict forking, and flouting this is asking for legal trouble (especially since Euro-Office appears to be a major thing).
