Re: [libreoffice-users] How to use LibreOffice to blur and save a PNG?

       That is *not* a 'freeware' site;
           anyone who has gone there would know this.

       If you enjoy LO, then you should also enjoy their dedicated efforts.

Hi,

Sorry to nitpick here but I am not sure we want to recommend freeware (and
not free and open source software) to our users. Many Freeware download
sites are famous to bundle spyware in the software they distribute.

I am a bit surprized to see this "techsupportalert" being mentioned several
times by an actual moderator of this mailing list.

There are a few websites listing free and open source software:
http://www.opensourcewindows.org
http://www.opensourcemac.org
http://www.osalt.com

And many more.

Best,
Charles
