Some hobbyist--or some company offering optional support in some form--will just do the builds. There are tons of Linux distros in this category. Builds for open source software are a commodity. You can't stop them and still be open source.

There's always trademarks, although I don't know if LibreOffice brand recognition is strong enough to overcome not being free.

True. On both counts. The potential users are probably not the casual ones who are just using free online office suites by default anyway.
