    I think they are legally in the wrong, trying to impose restrictions om AGPL, but I’m not a lawyer. Probably, anybody making a fork will ignore that and see how far OnlyOffice wants to take it.

      I am not a lawyer either but I have yet to see a single expert side with Only Office on this. Among others the FSF aggrees with Nextcloud’s interpretation and disagrees with Only Office’s and they be experts on AGPl 3.0, shouldn’t they?

      If Only Office were correct it would not be Open Source and then it would violate numerous licenses itself. If Only Office really go to court with this they are quite stupid as the risk to themselves is tremendous because of that.
