     @waifu What? Libreoffice isn't in the public domain, it's dual licensed with the LGPLv2.1+ and the MPLv2.

     @waifu What? Libreoffice isn't "open source", "LibreOffice is Free Software.": https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/licenses
     
     As above, Libreoffice isn't in the public domain either, it's dual licensed under the LGPLv3+ and the MPLv2.
     
     Plus it also has some other components under different licenses.

     For something to be in the public domain, it must both meet the requirements of copyrightability and also not be covered by copyright.
     
     Due to the Berne convention, every "creative" work is automatically copyrighted, plus it's extremely difficult to validly place something into the public domain - in some countries that can only happen when the copyright term expires.
     
     The bot software is most likely copyrighted and so not public domain.
     
     Also, I doubt having a bot regurgitate a combination of many copyrighted works places such combined works in the output into the public domain.
