- Document Foundation appreciates the focus on open standards from Euro-Office's announcement but clarifies it's not Europe's first open source office suite, as LibreOffice and others have existed for years.
- The real progress noted is the commitment to enhance support for the OpenDocument Format (ODF), aligning with long-standing European free software community requests.
- The Foundation argues that true digital sovereignty requires ODF to be Euro-Office's native document format, not just supported, to ensure documents are created, stored, and trusted in an open standard.
