Recently, IONOS and Nextcloud announced their new, sovereign office suite called “Euro-Office” and claimed they were using components of ONLYOFFICE. It seems they are doing so without checking the licences first and without cooperating with them.

Original announcement:

Nextcloud and Ionos are promising a modern, open-source office suite for the summer. To achieve this goal, they have forked OnlyOffice.

ONLYOFFICE reply:

Based on publicly available information, the “Euro-Office” project uses technology derived from ONLYOFFICE editors in violation of our licensing terms and of international intellectual property law.

If IONOS is involved in anything I automatically assume they're in the wrong. What a fucking scumbag of a predatory company. I made the mistake of using them for some web hosting and ended up being charged for extra contracts that you CANNOT CANCEL AND TRIPLE IN PRICE HALFWAY THROUGH THE CONTRACT.

Fuck them I cancelled my debit card.
