Whoever included this "The Personal edition is supported by volunteers and
intended for individual use." is a rotten egg. Which company does it suit to
have this information in the About dialog?

I fully support Gerry and Ovari. AT MOST the About dialog must say "This
edition is supported by volunteers." and I also support including a donate
button.
So those are three +1 supporting this. 
Otherwise I can bet that several "volunteers" will simply boycot supporting
LibreOffice.
