Dear Sir,
LibreOffice is a free open source software, released by a not for profit foundation based in
Germany: The Document Foundation. The source code of LibreOffice is re-packaged by Red Hat to be
included in RHEL.
You have sent your message to a mailing list manned by volunteers, who are dealing with
accessibility features but not with accessibility legal compliance. We do not know enough the
topic to provide a sensible answer and in any case we would not be able to issue the document you
have requested.
So, please send your request to the Board of Directors of The Document Foundation, by writing to:
info@documentfoundation.org. I don't know if they will be able to issue the document, but they
will be able to answer your question.
Best regards, Italo Vignoli
