Yes, I'm afraid this might be the case...

In literal terms, it's a device from which one downloads a copy of
LibreOffice. It sounds like one has a choice of OSes, so the term
'picker' or 'OS picker' might figure-in nicely to the name.

Perhaps you could sidestep the problem, and just put up a sign that
says "Download LibreOffice to your USB thumbdrive right here -- in
seconds!" Or you could give it a fun, descriptive, made-up name like
"The LibreOfficizer" or have a tag line like "LibreOffice-o-Matic: A
free copy for every customer!".
