--- Comment #24 from stragu <stephane.guillou at member.fsf.org> ---
I agree with a lot of people here. My university offers both Microsoft Office
and LibreOffice, to give a choice between the widespread proprietary suite, and
the FLOSS alternative that offers a lot of customisability.

If the new LO version states "Personal Edition" as soon as you start it, I am
fairly certain LibreOffice will be instantly dropped from our computers,
without looking further. Simply because "Personal Edition" makes it sound like
we are illegally using the software. And that would mean **tens of thousands**
of students not being exposed to LibreOffice during their tertiary education
any more.

I understand TDF is looking at ways to make the project as sustainable as
possible, but I believe there are ways to do it that won't mean a very
significant chunk of the actual _and_ potential user bases are dropped all of a
sudden.

If you absolutely have to give a name to the main, free edition, please use
something more sensible, like "Community Edition".
