Euro-Office 1.0 Arrives To Open-Source Infighting: 'Compatibility Is Not Sovereignty'

An anonymous reader quotes a report from ZDNet:TDF's main objection is that Euro-Office's decision to default to Microsoft's OOXML format undercuts its claims of European digital sovereignty, since OOXML remains closely tied to Microsoft Office behavior and control. "Compatibility is not sovereignty," TDF warned, saying a European-branded suite that saves files in OOXML by default "is de facto an ally of Microsoft in its content lock-in strategy."
