[CentOS] Does LibreOffice need to be patched to remove upstream "supplied by" text?
I just noticed that if I click "Help / About" in LibreOffice Writer (and likely other LibreOffice apps), I see: This release was supplied by Red Hat, Inc. Copyright (C) 2000 - 2013 LibreOffice contributors and/or their affiliates LibreOffice was based on OpenOffice.org I know several packages are patched to remove ambiguity as to who supplied the package; should this be one of them? thanks, Greg

Red Hat did provide that compilation and those options. That is not stating that there is any support being provided by Red Hat, nor is it saying that the package belongs to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If Red Hat wants us to take it out, we can ... but I see it as providing credit for creating the compilation and not claiming ownership or stating a distribution it is part of.
