And riddled with Russian spyware, but that's the icing on the cake

Russian ownership of OPENOFFICE is why this Euro fork exists.

    OnlyOffice is not related to OpenOffice. OnlyOffice is developed by Ascensio System which has labored to obscure their Russian backing.

    Whereas StarOffice/OpenOffice/LibreOffice is a product officially developed by Sun, then donated to the Apache Foundation, then forked as LibreOffice governed by The Document Foundation.
