LibreOffice

LibreOffice is a powerful, free, and open-source office productivity suite used by millions worldwide. Its clean interface and feature-rich tools help users unleash their creativity and enhance their productivity. LibreOffice includes several applications that make it the most versatile Free and Open Source office suite on the market.

The project was born in September 2010 when members of the OpenOffice.org community formed 'The Document Foundation'. This move was a response to concerns regarding Oracle Corporation's management of the project following their acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Today, the software is developed by a global community of volunteers and professional developers, making its 'manufacturing' origins truly international and decentralized.

LibreOffice is unique in its ownership structure as it is not owned by a commercial corporation but by The Document Foundation, a non-profit organization (Stiftung) based in Germany. This ensures that the software remains free from corporate control and continues to evolve as a public good for the global digital community.
