An uphill battle for LibreOffice

An uphill battle for LibreOffice

The problem is that the LibreOffice page doesn't mention "OpenOffice" EVEN FUCKING ONCE, resulting in LibreOffice not even appearing in Google searches for "openoffice".

This is probably because some total idiot thinks that just mentioning a trademark is automatically trademark infringement (NEWSFLASH: no, you only infringe if you mislead the customer).

Just add "LibreOffice is an improved version of OpenOffice released by the Document Foundation, and offers many new features. You should download and use LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice." to the homepage.

Along with some more SEO, it should be possible to make the LibreOffice page the 1st or 2nd result for "openoffice", which will fix the issue.

TBH AOO is the top two Google results for "free office", and LibreOffice is #4 (at least in the results I see due to my filter bubble). And I use adblock so I've no idea what malware is pushed in the sponsored search result at the top of the page.
