it ships own copies of dozens of standard 3rd-party packages,
"standard" from the viewpoint of up-to-date Linux distros, that is. Don't forget that LibreOffice
is supposed to run also on not-so-up-to-date Linux installations. (As far as I know, the generic
Linux build of LibreOffice is, or am I confusing with go-oo times?)
And of course, various other Unixes too (although I don't know if we have any active
builders/packagers except for BSDs), on which one can be even les sure that there are up-to-date
"standard" 3rd-party packages available.
And then there is Windows.
In general, isn't a LibreOffice purpose-built for some modern Linux distro *already* using the
system copies of these libraries, not its own copies?
