It is "properly licensed." That's the issue, and it's why LibreOffice has to beg instead of being able to sue.

If LibreOffice doesn't like this use, they can change to a less libre license. That's the point of proprietary and mixed licenses.

If LibreOffice does this, then the entire fork from Apache OpenOffice is fraudulent.

They just need to rename their community edition to "unsupported edition" or "insecure edition" or "we will leak your IP to china edition".
