LibreOffice – Let's put an end to the speculation (blog.documentfoundation.org)

The Document Foundation (TDF) publishes background on its internal governance disputes involving Collabora and longtime figures, arguing that earlier decisions—such as brand licensing and awarding development contracts to companies represented on TDF’s board—were incompatible with non-profit legal requirements. It says subsequent tensions, including a proposed parallel organization (TDC), contributed to delays in resolving the issues until recent audits confirmed changes were needed to avoid losing non-profit status. TDF also points to new restrictive measures, a revised procurement policy, and updated ethics and conflict-of-interest rules, while saying it has been preparing for Collabora’s latest announcement.
