Re: [tdf-discuss] I like the name LibreOffice

["Eric Jon Renaud" <erenaud@collab.net>]

I would suggest that LibreOffice would work fine for International English.  I guarantee that more people who don't already understand both  and 'gratis' will understand (or not) 'Libre' just as well as 'gratis'.

Perhaps 'Liberty Office' or 'Office Freedom'. (I make no claim to these names and don't know if they're previously copyrighted, copylefted or under any sort of license)

Regards,

Eric
