Last line on the page:
"LibreOffice remains committed to providing users with quality software
authored under free software licenses, and, as such, our catalogue of
extensions and templates are published under free software licenses."

How much more needs saying, what else is there to say in _this_
context. 

If we want to embelish the front page of the site, and I agree with that
idea, then do so about the software - some dynamic content about recent
extension or template uploads, or highest rated, or something we can
brainstorm on that.

Agreed. regarding the software.
