This is like the people who repackage and rebrand LibreOffice and then resell it for $10 on the Windows Store to gullible users.

And the worst part about that is that it doesn't even break the law.

Those repackages of libreoffice packages are actually official.

These versions are free software (as in open source) but there's a small charge to cover the effort of putting software in the app stores, and to help develop the software (and build our communities).

They are not. I do not refer to the package called "LibreOffice". If you search for "office" on the Windows Store, you'll see a bunch of LibreOffice clones that are not branded as such and are not free of charge or contain advertisements.
