However - backpedaling a bit - still not a large supporter for the edition branding. Or the more specific, without a well considered marketing strategy. The community edition branding creates a different product image; less professional [not a marketing strategist]. So what happens with Enterprises etc who currently use LibreOffice? There is a risk the will drop LibreOffice in a whole. Community being to unprofessional and not wanting/can switch to Enterprise edition. For example the IT department did install LibreOffice, without much involvement of the Legal Department or Financial department (Free Beer). However spending/contracts makes the whole story different, everybody wants a say in it.A marked share is of course also a thing. And what to do with a (hypothetical) company's who wants to use LibreOffice without service support, but willing to donate say $3000 a year. Or the lack of knowledge about financial support. Open Source is free, right! And the IT-department not suggesting to do a donation; because not their job, don't care etc. There a so many narratives/story's you think of. A part the strategy is clearly communication: open source is not the equivalent for free. Even if it's available for free; which by itself is already an odd proposition. The newspaper have (had) a somewhat similar issue related to their selling model. A hard paywall. 5 articles for free a day/week. Or the whole paper for free with nudging to buy and/or banners (which are blocked by ad-blockers).</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
