There seems to be hope that OpenOffice will disappear and leave the field to LibreOffice.
However, LibreOffice has a terrible name and is not alone, you will see occasionally LibreThis and LibreThat.
The issue is that 'free' in Engish may point to free as in beer and free as in freedom.
Please, Slashdot, collect suggestions from readers for a new name. Methinks LibreOffice should morph to FreedomOffice.
should morph to FreedomOffice
Sounds even worse IMHO. Stupid names and software go together - "powerpoint" sounds nothing like a slideshow presentation and there are many with worse names. At a guess what do you think "ProMAX R5000" is about?
