In the morning we mentioned that The Document Foundation which develops LibreOffice, has the completely free suite in the Microsoft Store for 2,99 euros.
We also mentioned that the publisher's name is not "The Document Foundation" but a developer called ".net".
Since the morning we found this case somewhat strange, as there was no relevant announcement from the TDF. So we mentioned that you should avoid downloading this version from the Store, or if you do, at least don't pay for it. LibreOffice is a completely free suite and you can always download it from the official websiteσελίδα 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 software (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:
So beware of fraudsters who try to gain from other people's efforts. The Store app has nothing to do with it free application of the Document Foundation.
