An example : can anyone point me to a webpage from the Foundation or the

No, because there isn't one, because there is no requirement or even
strong recommendation.
But of course there is certainly nothing wrong with buying a support
contract if you want one.
It's a common cultural problem in the OpenSource community. Everyone
thinks "they" deserve all software for free, but if you have a company
or business email address "you" should spend all of your money so that
they can continue to have free software. It doesn't matter what
OpenSource operating system or application/software package you are
using, this irrational response persists. I imagine it is even more
persistent in the LO world since they just cut free of "Sugar Daddy" >
and now need a revenue source.
I've never seen or noticed such an attitude - certainly not anything
nearly as pervasive or prevalent as you seem to by suggesting.
