The Austrian military didn’t just adopt LibreOffice; they actually contributed back to it. Over five person-years of development work went into adding features they needed. Those improvements are now available to everyone using LibreOffice, which is pretty cool.
We shouldn’t be celebrating military forces, a branch of the government that is notoriously expensive for tax payers, to use FOSS without giving anything significant back in return.
Check out @themurphy@lemmy.ml 's comment. They did contribute significantly. Also, y’know, it’s in the article and on the post itself…
I get where you’re coming from, but Military documents getting out of Microsoft’s(USA) reach is absolutely something positive
They actually did contribute back into the project, also even if they didn’t it’s still a win because proprietary software should not be used by any part of the government.
