To be fair, the FSF is partially incorrect; a government can indeed craft their copyright laws such that OnlyOffice’s license restrictions are valid. However, to my knowledge, no government has done so to date, so the FSF is correct in practice; the extra restrictions in the repository violate international copyright laws.

    HA. Get bent OnlyOffice for your shitty uncooperative behaviour.
