Free until Dec 24: Softmaker FreeOffice (Win&Linux) and Office Mobile (Android)

[mwb1100]

I got the following in an email today.  I haven't yet downloaded anything, so I don't know what the quality level (or whether the software is laden with ads or not), but the fact they commit to a small donation to charity for each download seems worthwhile:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Free Office. Download it now for free for Windows, Linux, and Android, and SoftMaker donates money to charity projects worldwide.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Christmas comes early this year!

>From now until December 24, you can download FreeOffice for Windows and
Linux and the full version of SoftMaker Office Mobile 2012 for Android
- and help needy people at the same time: For every download, SoftMaker donates 10 Euro cents to aid and charity projects around the world.

Spread the word! Tell friends and co-workers about our Load and Help campaign. We want to set a new record for donations this year!

Visit the Load and Help campaign page:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are this year's free downloads ...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. SoftMaker FreeOffice

A full-featured office suite for Windows and Linux that is based on SoftMaker Office and may be used at home and for business alike.

If you already use SoftMaker Office 2012, you do not need FreeOffice.
But we encourage you to tell your friends and colleagues about our Load and Help campaign where they can do good by accepting a gift.

2. SoftMaker Office Mobile for Android

Do you want to work on your Office documents with your Android smartphone or tablet? SoftMaker Office Mobile 2012 for Android offers full-fidelity viewing and editing of Microsoft and SoftMaker Office documents on your mobile companion. It is now a free download.

If you already own SoftMaker Office Mobile, you don't need this download.
Stay with the version you purchased; we will offer extra features for paying customers next year.

But please tell your friends about this great campaign, so that we can surpass last year's donations.

I've been mostly using Libre, but since this nets something for charity - why not?

Besides, Softmaker Office is a very good suite.

Interesting, FreeOffice is always free and has been for a couple of years.  Now they've also added the Android non-HD version available for free download.

SoftMaker Office > LibreSomething.

No ads, no obligations. FreeOffice is compared with Open-/LibreOffice much faster and has a much better compatibility with MS Office. SoftMaker Office Mobile for Android used to cost 20 bucks, now they give it away. I can highly recommend downloading it, and at the same time you do something good, because for every download, SoftMaker donates to charity projects. The more downloads, the higher the donation.
