@thomasfuchs About those students protesting in tents: when I was in college & graduate school (1960s to early 1970s) in anti-war student protests that "got out of hand", the students would occupy university buildings. If they had merely camped out on the lawn, an administration would have breathed a sigh of relieve. Why is the reaction so different now?

@fsf As an historical note, given the adoption of LibreOffice by a German state, LibreOffice originated from OpenOffice, which in turn came from a proprietary program named StarOffice that was acquired by Sun Microsystems, which released it as open source. The original StarOffice had a terrible user interface that was replaced over time. Curiously, the original software was developed in Germany.
