I think there's a misunderstanding, that this change would somehow be
bad, or incompatible with FOSS, or not appropriate for the core code
base.
there is no misunderstanding of the title (and purpose) of this patch.
You all should know what Freemium means (for reference again:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemium).
But I find it very disturbing that instead of the patch that introduced
the Freemium function first
(https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/116384) the patch that tries to
revert this Freemium function leads to a discussion and an argument at
the ESC.
I looked up the minutes from the ESC at that time and found out that you
are regularly participating at those meetings (e.g. at the ESC meeting
June, 24
2021[https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2021-June/087521.html],
a day after the first Freemium patch was submitted). In addition you
were a member of Board of Directors of The Document Foundation
(https://www.documentfoundation.org/board-2020-2022).
This makes it obvious that the whole process with the patch review
seemed to be broken. This process needs a review and a modulation thus
The Document Foundation, LibreOffice and the community will be prevented
for such patches that are against the goals (and statutes) of the
foundation (and the community).
I expect that the ESC will approve the revert of those changes
introduced first with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/116384
Regards,
Andreas
