The Document Foundation (TDF) is
the home of the LibreOffice
free-software office suite; it provides financial, governance, and
other administrative services to LibreOffice. The foundation was
established in part to ensure that commercial entities did not have undue
influence on the project, which limited the types of activities in which it
can engage. In particular, selling branded versions of LibreOffice in the
macOS and Windows app stores has not been something that TDF could tackle.
The TDF
board of directors is looking to change that with the creation of a
new entity, The Document Collective (TDC), to engage in commercial activity that
is complementary to that of TDF members—hopefully as an income source to
help support TDF.
