I hope this post is ok and welcome here! I’ve been following discussions around Euro-Office in a few subs and saw that none of the threads had all the information I felt was relevant – so I felt motivated to do a write up. The focus is on the application of the AGPL, so it should be firmly on-topic.
For those that haven’t heard Euro-Office is a new fork of ONLYOFFICE. ONLYOFFICE uses the AGPL, but with controversial additional terms that may either be “further restrictions” and thus unenforceable, or an unorthodox attribution requirement. I go into the actions of the two parties, third-party points of view, and the consequences (so far).
What I don’t go into are the reasons for the fork, or ONLYOFFICE’s supposed current/former Russia connections. The latter one is a can of worm I was not interested opening.
(In case anyone cares or wonders: neither the blog post nor this reddit post contain any AI content. While I don’t dogmatically reject any AI use, I simply don’t like the text it generates and could not bring myself to publish anything like that anyway.)
