Paolo, thank you for focusing on this EU "angle", and to all the others for so many and so rich interventions, IMO (y).
Portugal, as far as I know, and just to give easily observed data - information/intel -, has been working in the area of interoperability, since June 21, 2011. >> https://dre.pt/dre/detalhe/lei/36-2011-670285 On November 8, 2012, with ODF 1.1. >> https://dre.pt/dre/detalhe/resolucao-conselho-ministros/91-2012-191863 >> https://files.dre.pt/1s/2012/11/21600/0646006465.pdf On January 5, 2018, with ODF 1.2. >> https://dre.pt/dre/detalhe/resolucao-conselho-ministros/2-2018-114457664 >> https://files.dre.pt/1s/2018/01/00400/0012100127.pdf IMO this means that, under normal conditions, interoperability would be an issue for microsoft to worry about, and discuss within itself, and not for the L.O. Because people deal with each other and with companies, and everyone deals with government institutions. So, whoever, like me, wants to "fight" for the L.O., first or at the same time, will have to "fight" against the EU, Germany(von der leyen, team), your own national or local government, ... Where some of you can say: We have been there, done that, and even have the T-shirts to prove it :) . On the other hand, some time ago, I saw the Board of Directors election videos, 2021, and they talked about lobbying in the EU, costs, etc... >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU4XDlEGL94&ab_channel=LibreOffice-TheDocumentFoundation >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL1NnGvbZT8&ab_channel=LibreOffice-TheDocumentFoundation Bearing in mind the topic, and for the "How we are different" table, I think it may or may not be relevant - in normal conditions - to mention something along the lines of: - Libreoffice is in line with European law and directives blah blah blah, for blah blah blah, on open software and interoperability blah blah blah, according to the European directive blah blah blah ... Note: For private users using microsoft. Private scientific and research data has to deal with government institutions, like all the others, and they will have to solve their interoperability problems. Ask microsoft :) .
