Man if they keep taking down code I’ll be their OnlyFan.

Oh yeah, that's why I use LibreOffice.
onlyoffice ownership is so sketchy that germany had to fork it and create Euro Office.
Who cares about this Russian closed source scam of a suite. I recommend switching to LibreOffice or NextCloud / Collabora
Surely there are forks out there.
Yeah, isn't it that they require everyone forking only office to include all the trademarks while forbidding everyone to use their trademarks?
I mean at least in their grotesque interpretation of the AGPL license at least. Luckily they can't intimitate Nextcloud any Co.
I think they are legally in the wrong, trying to impose restrictions om AGPL, but I'm not a lawyer. Probably, anybody making a fork will ignore that and see how far OnlyOffice wants to take it.
I am not a lawyer either but I have yet to see a single expert side with Only Office on this. Among others the FSF aggrees with Nextcloud's interpretation and disagrees with Only Office's and they should be experts on AGPL 3.0, shouldn't they?
If Only Office were correct it would not be Open Source and then it would violate numerous licenses itself. If Only Office really go to court with this they are risking a lot.
Maybe just a move away from Github? Which would be a positive development.
