I built a new PC two months ago and it's the first time I didn't get Office. Libre Office has everything I need and it's free.
I've wondered about free suites like these - how do they make money, do you know?
I don't think they make money. It's an open source project where people donate their time as far as I know.
EDIT: I forgot to mention you can donate to the project. Something has to pay for web hosting, I guess.
A bit of donations, a bit of unpaid people contributing just to help others.
Donations. Volunteers.
