A comment on LibreOffice tells businesses: Get off Community version, you are hurting devs. Parent comment

why? why was this set up in this particular way that >that it can not operate like a full-blown software company

why?

isnt mozilla working just fine as a software company run on donations? why is libreoffice dependent on 70% development commits by collabora?

this model has clearly not worked in the interest of community so why is TDF even pretending to be someone they are not?

contract work is not same as full time employees.

why this pretence?

I think the reasoning becomes apparent when considering the environment and situation that TDF was created in. Refer to the history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Document_Foundation#Histor...

In a delicate situation like that, don't you think it would have been rather brazen to go for a Mozilla Corporation type of model?
