Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Tariff Inspired LibreOffice Uptake in Canada

I appreciate Mike Saunders's "politically neutral" promotional approach.
In addition to privacy and data control, I believe adding financial impact
would give the message a significant boost.  Paying [increasing] annual
subscriptions year after year doesn't make much/any sense to the average
office software user and small businesses.

Given that everyone understands the language of money, such a message can
be promoted internationally, hopefully with good results.
