Yes and let's not forget that even if LibreOffice binaries were to be 
sold at 50 bucks "a piece", we would still be conveying the most 
fundamental rights and aspects of software freedom.
While this is not an encouragement to create sites that makes you buy 
LibreOffice, I think it is important to stress more on the benefits of 
software freedom besides the importance of technical and management 
guidance for migrations.

With some post website release hindssght, I think it's important to 
stress that we -try to- base our actions on a document few have read: 
the Next Decade Manifesto: http://www.documentfoundation.org/foundation/ 
 This is our "We the People" document and it's what was and is used as 
the cornerstone of the LibreOffice project. It's important to highlight 
it I think.

Best,

Charles.
