It has been alleged that the company behind OnlyOffice is selling a modified version (P7/R7 Office) is Russia. These allegations aren't completely meritless.

For example, a commit to a third-party (?) P7-Office-plugin repo is titled "Replace OnlyOffice with R7-Office and fix encoding (UTF-8 no BOM)" (emphasis mine). (https://github.com/r7-consult/plugin-grammalecte/commit/ca45...)

The R7-Office FreeBSD port contains files named "onlyoffice-docxf.xml" and "onlyoffice-oform.xml". (https://www.freshports.org/editors/linux-r7-office/)

A GhostBSD package contains files that contain Ascensio System SIA copyright notices. (https://pkg.ghostbsd.org/stable/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/All/... --- Zstandard-compressed tarball)

Please forgive me as I'm both naive and ignorant;

What is the implications / meaning of that? If a software comes from a trusted source and there's adequate mechanisms to make sure file contents aren't stolen / accessed -- why be concerned with who else has the same software?

		From the general user's point-of-view: Using OnlyOffice's paid products may be problematic because of sanctions against Russia. From a contributor point-of-view: If I voluntarily contributed to OnlyOffice, I would be unhappy that the company sold my AGPL-licensed code and attempted to hide the fact. Granted, they probably require contributors to sign a CLA, so as to make this legal. And yes, it is also unclear if P7 was a single-time fork of OnlyOffice, or if it continually takes code from OnlyOffice. From a random Russian person's point of view, it would be very unfair to learn that the (ostensibly Russian) software you have bought (because P7 appears to be solely commercial, not freemium, but correct me if I'm wrong) is in fact open-source and gratis in the West.
