From Wikipedia: Euro-Office is based on software from a more restrictively licensed office suite called OnlyOffice.

No, it means that I was wrong with my assessment and got corrected.

It's a fully FOSS Only office hard fork. They replaced all the proprietary binaries.

As mentioned on another thread Euro Office has some questionable ties to Russia. Better to just use LibreOffice instead.

Euro-Office is a fork of OnlyOffice, which has questionable Russian ties. This is explicitly part of the reason for doing a hard fork:

  • ONLYOFFICE is a Russian company (despite many attempts to hide this), and nearly all developers reside in Russia. Open Source is a global effort, but current political situation makes collaboration hard and trust difficult to earn. Especially when development is not transparent and open. A lot of users and customers require software that is not potentially influenced or controlled by the Russian government.

In general it's worth reading their github readme. They're very open about where they get their support from and what their priorities are, and they also explicitly address their relationship with LibreOffice.

Your viewpoint is far fetched. We don't care about OnlyOffice anymore. EuroOffice is a hard fork. I would say it couldn't have been solved better. There are no more "ties" whatsoever.
