LibreOffice 26.2 Gets Rid Of The "Community" Edition Branding (www.phoronix.com)

With the upcoming LibreOffice 26.2 open-source office suite release, they are getting rid of the "Community Edition" branding for the standard version of this widely-used cross-platform office suite.

LibreOffice previously was going for "Personal Edition" branding for this popular free software office suite. The "Personal Edition" branding was confusing and panned by users and ultimately then decided to brand it as the LibreOffice Community Edition. That too led to some user confusion and is now being phased out.

LibreOffice Community Edition was intended to distinguish between that common version of LibreOffice and any enterprise-focused versions of the office suite offered by other software partners. But back in June it was decided by the Board of Directors to drop that "Community" branding from The Document Foundation's LibreOffice builds.
