Howdy Italo,

that's not true - end user / small business / and commercial size
adoption is far from nil - not 20$ but depending on whose numbers your
use it is from 7% - 11%. It was the same web based survey that rendered
the 20% number for some EU locals that put US at 9% [1]

But that is not to detract from your overall point regarding recognition
and those numbers are for OO.o not LibreOffice...

Best wishes,

Drew
