Comparing America to a nation engaging in an invasion is a bit far fetched. Not saying the US has a clean sheet but it's still a land of freedom.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Invasions_by_the_Unit... It's an entire category.

When was the last time the US attacked a nation to annex them into their sovereignty? Not in some abstract or vague manner, directly annexing them.

Not defending any of the US' wars, but it's a little disingenuous to compare them to the Ukrainian conflict.

Not every russian works in the Kremlin.

No, but 4 out of 5 Russians dig[1] their dictator[2]. [1] https://www.statista.com/statistics/896181/putin-approval-ra... [2] https://pace.coe.int/en/news/9191/pace-committee-examines-th...

Official statistics in Russia don't mean anything anymore unfortunately

That post is out of date. As of August, it developed by a Latvian company ultimately owned by a Singaporean holding company (Onlyoffice Capital Group Pte. Ltd). The Russian market is served by a fork called P7-Office.

I cannot say if there are still indirect ties to Russia, but the direct ones appear fully severed?

The information is still correct. Moving your headquarters is a pretty old trick to circumvent state sanctions (while leaving a good chunk of operations in the sanctioned country as an example) and doesn't fly with checking institutions.

So invading and bombing other countries is now fine as long as you don't annex them? Good to know that's how far the goalposts have moved.

Not more than or less than using American or Israeli products.

Totally bollocks. This is pure fud. Nothing else. AGPL DOES NOT restrict ability to be used internally. Agpl does NOT restrict selling software as it is. Agpl does not restrict using agpl software with proprietary software. Only thing that agpl prevent is, IF YOU MODIFY AGPL SOFTWARE, YOU HAVE TO GIVE SOURCE CODE TO USERS. Your modifications. Thats it. AGPL DOES NOT MANDATE upstreaming modifications. You can do it or…

This is the AGPL, not the GPL. The AGPL may be based on the GPL but it is different, and has nothing to do with the Free Software Foundation. Basically, you if you provide this software as a service to your customers, you are required to let them access the source code and modifications.

The AGPLv3, which OnlyOffice uses, is a FSF license.

I tried to work with OnlyOffice for most of spreadsheet, the only drawback is long-loading time whenever you open a file compare to Microsoft Office web based I can get on Koofr cloud storage for free and get the best of both world. When I need to fill PDF form, Microsoft Edge could work fine.

My experience is exact opposite. I use OnlyOffice as default tool to open office documents because it's blinding fast on Linux( home systems) and macos (work). I don't need 98% of the features in MS Office so OnlyOffice has just what I want. And a brilliant integration with draw.io which makes documentation a breeze. I did not know was a Russian company so shall now rethink my use.

Most of us don't need 80% of the featured in MS Office too, until I realize it cost less than 15USD to get full office suite for our business, make sense for business.

But wow, I didn't knew OnlyOffice is manage by company in Singapore where I live.
