     @AngelaScholder Why? Independent volunteers will add features and improvements to LibreOffice, and everything is open source for all to benefit from.

     @libreoffice Depends on the involvement of Google.

     @hans @AngelaScholder We don't "need" them. But we're not going to arbitrarily reject open source code patches from volunteers, which greatly improve LibreOffice for all users, because those volunteers get some financial help to work on the open source code patches.
