Well, I would say the only problem would be if the
documentfoundation.org domain was to be put
under the same conditions, which would lead to issues. However, the
libreoffice.org (also applies
to regional ones) domain should be available for every contributor in
the community. These can
however, as you point out, be different depending on the involvement.
