The Austrian military didn’t just adopt LibreOffice; they actually contributed back to it. Over five person-years of development work went into adding features they needed. Those improvements are now available to everyone using LibreOffice, which is pretty cool.
We shouldn’t be celebrating military forces, a branch of the government that is notoriously expensive for tax payers, to use FOSS without giving anything significant back in return.
Check out @[email protected] 's comment. They did contribute significantly. Also, y’know, it’s in the article and on the post itself…

They actually did contribute back into the project, also even if they didn’t it’s still a win because proprietary software should not be used by any part of the government.
