2020: Return to the register of domestic software

In early October 2020, it became known about the return of AlterOffice to the register of Russian software. The corresponding decision was made by the expert council under the Ministry of Digital Science, Vedomosti writes with reference to a source close to the ministry and chairman of the board of the developer of this office product ALMIS Partner Mikhail Lebedev.

AlterOffice was absent from the registry for almost two years due to the fact that the product was recognized as borrowed (a significant part of the program code was taken from the authors of LibreOffice). According to Lebedev, the uniqueness of the finalized solution has grown from 12 to 36%. Thus, the developers added their own part of the cloud infrastructure, created a multidisciplinary system for user collaboration in each of the applications, and also changed the workspaces of text, table and presentation editors.

AlterOffice returned to the registry of domestic software after being deleted due to code copying

However, experts believe that re-adding the product to the registry could be a copyright infringement. So, a free license LibreOffice gives the right to use the code, but at the same time it is necessary to specify a copyright, and even if the final product turned out to be 90% unique. Otherwise, the developer may face prosecution by international organizations dealing with free software issues.

The publication of the publication says that the inclusion of AlterOffice in the register of Russian software can create a precedent when products based on foreign free software will begin to be recognized as domestic development. This can undermine the very essence of the registry, and clone products will not be able to compete with foreign originals.

In early September 2020, the Moscow Arbitration Court declared illegal the exclusion of AlterOffice from the register of domestic software.^[1]

2019: Removal from the register of Russian software

In November 2019, the AlterOffice office suite of ALMIS Partner was excluded from the register of domestic software, follows from the materials published on the website of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications.

As Vedomosti writes with reference to Renat Lashin, executive director of the Domestic Software ARPP, experts first noticed signs of copying foreign software in AlterOffice. Then an additional examination was carried out by decision of the expert council, according to its results, the product was excluded from the register.

It became known about the removal of AlterOffice software from the registry of Russian software

According to Lapshin, the developers of cloned software, as a rule, do not make any contribution to the product, do not support it, so it cannot be considered Russian. The company "ALMIS Partner," developing the AlterOffice project, objects and intends to challenge this decision, which, according to the developers, was made in violation of the regulations.

This is an outrageous use of administrative resources in competition, as well as direct corruption in the distribution of budget money. The development fully meets all the requirements of the register, and we will defend our position in all regulatory bodies, - Mikhail Lebedev, chairman of the board of ALMIS Partner LLC, told the newspaper .

He also recalled that a few days before the removal of AlterOffice from the register of Russian software, the Ministry of Communications announced the purchase of office software for federal executive bodies in the amount of more than 757 million rubles.

Earlier, regarding AlterOffice, a letter was sent to the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications by "New Cloud Technologies," drawing attention to the fact that this, in their opinion, is a converted open source product. The general director of this company, Dmitry Komissarov, told TAdviser in October 2019 that at that time about 2-3 months had passed since sending this letter to the department.

We informed the ministry that this product, from our point of view, is in the register with violations, - Komissarov said then. - His software product registration certificate says that he has one developer who, apparently, wrote 40 million lines of code.

He added that the company will wait for the next expert council before contacting the department again about this.

Dmitry Commisarov at the same time noted that on the part of the Russian developers of office software "New Office Technologies" on public procurement from large customers they do not yet feel competition with anyone.

After excluding AlterOffice from the register, "New cloud technologies announced that they welcome the decision^[2] one].

The practice when renamed copies of non-Russian products are included in the register of domestic software should be strictly suppressed by the state. Otherwise, this jeopardizes the domestic IT industry: companies that develop their own products from scratch are put on equal terms, and those who simply copy someone else's without spending a ruble on it, Dmitry Komissarov quotes Vedomosti.
