Paid distribution of LibreOffice through the Mac App Store has begun

The Document Foundation has announced the start of distribution of paid versions of the free office suite LibreOffice for the macOS platform through the Mac App Store. It costs €8.99 to download LibreOffice from the Mac App Store, while builds for macOS can also be downloaded from the project's official website for free.

It is stated that the funds collected from the paid delivery will be used to support the development of LibreOffice. The assemblies posted in the Mac App Store are generated by Collabora and differ from the assemblies from the LibreOffice website in the absence of Java in the delivery, since Apple prohibits the placement of external dependencies. Due to the lack of Java, the functionality of LibreOffice Base in paid versions is limited.
