Document Foundation: The answer to the iGuRu.gr publication

In the morning we mentioned that The Foundation that develops LibreOffice, has the completely free suite at Store for 2,99 euros.

We also mentioned that the publisher's name is not "The Document Foundation" but a developer called ".net".The Document Foundation

From the morning we found this case a bit strange, as there was no relevant announcement from TDF. So we mentioned that you should avoid it this version from the Store or if you do, at least do not pay for it. LibreOffice is a completely free suite and you can always download it from its official website without spending a single euro.

But a little while ago we received an email from him Italo Vignoli of The Document Foundation. The email clarifies:

The Document Foundation has been notified of an unofficial version of LibreOffice in the Microsoft Store. We're investigating this further, but I want to be clear: the version being released is not an official version developed by The Document Foundation, so the app page is misleading. Its only source (which can be downloaded for free, i.e. without any cost to the end user) is the LibreOffice website:
https://www.libreoffice.org.
Also, the money from the Microsoft Store release does not go to The Document Foundation.

You can also see the email in English:

Document Foundation

Beware, therefore, of the crooks who try to win by others. The Store application has nothing to do with the free application of the Document Foundation.
