Thanks for your comment. I have changed the paragraph to:
"LibreOffice (http://www.libreoffice.org/) is a free and open-source 
office suite based on the OpenOffice.org source code. It is a 
community-driven project of The Document Foundation. The Document 
Foundation was formed in September 2010 and has released several new 
versions of LibreOffice since that time. New code in LibreOffice is 
developed under a double license: GNU Lesser General Public License 
Version 3 (LGPLv3) and the Mozilla Public License (MPL)."

Best regards,

Christophe
