How many registration 2-digit country codes do we need? One for every country or language that LO supports? One for every country that has a group large enough to support its own 2-digit code? Is there any "rulings" on who gets to have a LibreOffice.xx domain?
there are currently no fixed rules. The basic rule, although it sounds harsh, is: We own the trademark, so better ask us before you register anything. ;-)
What we did in the past is that many people were so kind to register domains with LibreOffice or TDF upon our agreement. They either connected our DNS servers directly, or forwarded to our website, and agreed to transfer the domain name to TDF upon our request.
For many countries, we cannot directly own the domain name, since you often need to be a resident of or incorporated in that country to be eligible for a registration.
We have registered quite a few domain names on our own, but of course not for all countries.
