Well, it’s more attitude than verbatim licensing, which is the reason the Nextcloud originally tried to partner with them, then immediately changed to Collabora. Some issues:
I’ll just say that while it’s technically FOSS, it’s not community open source. There’s a company that writes it all and open sources a portion of what they write. The company isn’t FOSS friendly and continues to squeeze. It’s not too much different to why MySQL got forked.
