9. City of Munich loves LibreOffice
   After careful risk-assessment, the capital of Munich has
   decided to migrate from OpenOffice to LibreOffice.
   In favour of that decision, among others, was the greater
   flexibility of the project regarding consumption of open
   source licenses.
   Beyond that, Munich wants to rely on large and vibrant
   communities for any Open Source product it employs.
