It's a legal text. The sentence "DO NOT TRANSLATE OR LOCALIZE THIS
DOCUMENT" is not only for us, LibreOffice localizers, but for everyone
who reads the document. Only English text is legally binding so vendors,
packagers, etc. also should not touch it.

It could have a TOC, better structure, same type of things should be
grouped (licences of fonts, licences of dictionaries, licenses of
libraries, etc.). But extra caution is needed. Any modification/omission
can lead to legal issues. I think only a trusted person should touch it
and other trusted person should review the work of this person. We
cannot diff the versions easily, if someone makes a lot of formatting
changes and reordering.
