Summary
The Document Foundation criticizes Euro-Office for claiming to be the first open-source office suite in Europe, arguing that its reliance on Microsoft's proprietary format undermines European digital sovereignty. The author questions TDF's pettiness and suggests that Euro-Office's compatibility with MS formats is a business necessity. Overall, the post reflects frustration with TDF's stance and its implications for the future competitiveness of open-source alternatives like LibreOffice.
