I suggest we try to keep it as honest as possible. The membership should speak out on this item re: "edition".
IMO, "Community Edition" is fine, and agree that this could be modified at a future date when the membership would review the edition labels; perhaps reviewed every 4-5 years or something of the like. We profess how we are a community and collective of many different language groups working on the project, whether it be coders, designers, translation, docs, etc. So, in my mind "community" is the exact description. It does not bring up the idea of setting any commercial ties, etc. If members outside of the community, users, decide to adopt LibreOffice, then they do so and enjoy the fruits of the wonderful software solution that LibreOffice brings to them. As for any commercial versions of LibreOffice, they (the people behind "commercializing" LibreOffice) should also be made to abide by a membership-decided label. I like the idea of "Powered by ..." label, not sure if this would infringe on any trademarks. But, by and large, should any organization wish to use the LibreOffice suite as we know, coming from the community, then no problem. Just that, at this point, no commercial support is built into the community project for such a beast, Having a robust list of commercial businesses, advertised on the LibreOffice website, that can help install LibreOffice for commercial usage, IMO, is pretty well an accepted solution to most who run businesses and search for commercial application solutions. In this day of age, most businesses are used to seeing a community opensource version of software with an alternate commercial version of the same for a price. So, for me, "Community Edition" is fine. We would also need to decide on the commercial label at the same time, of which, I prefer "Powered by ...".
