Nextcloud, Ionos and other partners are developing an open-source office suite under the project name „Euro-Office“ as an alternative to the market-dominant Microsoft Office.

The two partners are not starting from scratch, but have forked the components of OnlyOffice available as open-source code and want to build on them. In the summer, the software is then intended to replace the previous office component Collabora in Nextcloud and the Ionos Nextcloud Workspace. A ‘technical preview’ is already available on GitHub.

While this is a good news, I think they should move from github, you know microslop copilot..

Hehe… the project is dying before it even started:

ONLYOFFICE has issued a formal notice regarding the "Euro-Office" project recently announced by #Nextcloud and #IONOS.

𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀, 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗚𝗣𝗟𝘃𝟯 𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟲.

The violations include:

  • Removal of ONLYOFFICE branding and logo from derivative works
  • Failure to provide proper attribution to the original technology
  • Non-compliance with open-source distribution obligations under AGPLv3, Section 7

To be clear: ONLYOFFICE is #opensource. We actively support forks, integrations, and derivative works. Hundreds of partners build on our #technology every day: legally, transparently, and successfully.

The use of our technology without respecting the #legal conditions that govern it is unacceptable. Under Section 8 of AGPLv3, any breach of the license results in the automatic termination of all rights granted. Without a valid license, continued use constitutes copyright infringement.

𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆. 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
