It's not necessary to suggest TDF changes it's chosen licence. It's true that 
if they did new possibilities would be opened but why should we expect them to 
do so. Some will find the suggestion insulting others will be happy to 
contribute their code to shared code under the Apache License 2.0 where it can 
be reused in LibreOffice, there is no new for a wholesale change of philosophy.

Again, I don't think this is necessary, but if the first sentence (above) is 
removed I find it more reasonable. Personally I'd remove both.
