They use LibreOffice, which is open-source. [0] That suite is part of the The Document Foundation [1] which headquarters are in Berlin, Germany. How is this related to Russia?

Again, open source is not enough: you may have a chance with _LEAN_ open source, that stable in time, down to the SDK (computer languages), file formats, protocols.

Thats open source self hosted software. If you dont trust the prebuilt binaries you can inspect the source code and build it from source yourself

Thx, I indeed misread that in the article. Sill, it's AGPL v3.0 so if the French are ok with Open Source I guess they could always sever the cord.
