> The last time I mentioned them I was informed they are Russian.

Here's the company info on a Latvian org registry: https://company.lursoft.lv/en/ascensio-system/40103265308

I logged in to the platform, not sharing the names myself, but basically:

  * company was registered in Latvia in 2010 (e.g. included in VAT register over here)
  * board has 1 member since 2009, registered in Russia (Russian passport)
  * has 1 shareholder, Ascensio System Limited in the UK (05718967)
  * has one beneficial owner, in 2023 updated data from Russia to Turkey (passport issued in Istanbul)

So yeah, the company is registered over here, seems like they're trying to distance themselves from Russia for obvious reasons. Not sure why the downvotes for the parent comment, that's probably nice to mention.

Downvotes are probably for not liking openoffice.

They might have one official employee but there are a bunch of people active on their github. They might be contractors or employees of a different related company.
