<pre>The change in the About dialog of LibreOffice 7.0 will have substantial
negative side effects. Particularly the two terms "personal edition" and
"intended for individual use" are likely to hamper the growth and use of
LibreOffice. This should not be our aim.
Roman points out these negative side effects here:

Ovari suggests following solution in his to comment to <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed"
title="RESOLVED FIXED - Add to window "About LibreOffice" text about open and free distribute any numbers of copies of LibreOffice"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=108865">bug 108865</a>#c26
If the string is required
"The Personal edition is supported by volunteers and intended for individual
use."
should at most be:
"This edition is supported by volunteers."
There could be a "Donate" link where "Credits Website Release Notes" are
shown
This seems to be a good solution.</pre>
