Well, to me they are: you can't specify that the license is free 
software besides being open source (which, to stay on topic, is right 
and desirable) but at the same time indicate a wrong license.

I'd tend to disagree here, it's basic communication about the product. 
But I pinged the website list again.

Yes, but here we are talking about highlighting the merits of the 
LibreOffice license and at the same time we are stating the wrong 
license, so I see them as very strongly related. Anyway, we are free to 
have different opinions on this minor detail.

I had reported it on the right list, and taking care of it would be a 
precondition (for me) of any license terminology clarification. But I've 
followed your advice; sorry if anyone was distracted, and if you want to 
follow the specific issue of the wrong license (it's just about removing 
two extra words, and it doesn't need a lot of discussion!) you can use 
the link from my earlier post.
