2023-04-02 Permalink

We are happy to announce that we have changed the license for most of the NeoOffice source code to the same license as LibreOffice: the Mozilla Public License (MPL) v2.0.

This change has been made to most of the source code in our NeoOffice, NeoLight, and NeoPeek source code repositories.

Links to the updated license text and any additional licensing notes are below:

Some of the third party source code and artwork use open source licenses that are more restrictive than and/or incompatible with the MPL v2.0. Because of this, the license of all third party source code and artwork included in NeoOffice, NeoLight, or NeoPeek has not changed.

New website for news and announcements

2022-11-25 Permalink

For many years, we have posted news and announcements on our Developer notes and announcements website. Unfortunately, that website runs on very old software that has required significant changes every time a new version of PHP is released. So, we are archiving that website and all future news and announcements will be posted on our new NeoOffice News website.

An archive of the old website will remain online and you can continue to view our previous news and announcements using the following links:

We will also continue to post links to our posts on Twitter @NeoOffice.
