It's pretty funny on its face ("If you want to use a different logo, then use different code too"), but I have the feeling that this schism is just going to make open-source office projects worse in general.
FSF has already called out OnlyOffice (just without naming them) and says GPL doesn't allow it.
Additionally you're not allowed to claim you're using GPL if you add impermissible additions to the license
I agree with the FSF; I'm just a little worried Onlyoffice will seek some vindictive retaliation. I don't know what that'll look like, but I certainly wouldn't have predicted this response from them either.
Then you call FSF as an expert witness and watch them tear them apart
