In the LibreOfficeDev_24.8.0.0.alpha0_Win_x86-64.msi archive, the license is provided in 2 formats : ./LibreOfficeDev 24:./LICENSE.html ./LibreOfficeDev 24:./license.txt The main MSI archive could provide a single format (html ?).
In libreofficedev24.8_24.8.0.0.alpha0-1_amd64.deb archive, the license is provided in 2 formats (txt and html) : opt/libreofficedev24.8/LICENSE opt/libreofficedev24.8/LICENSE.html
Cloph, what do you think? I guess plain text is useful to simple / headless setups where plain text is preferred (and possibly required as a format by licences and/or libraries), and HTML is preferred for improved readability when accessing if from the GUI (Help > License Information > Show License). To me, not a bug.
At the end of the installation process, Libreoffice itself can convert the html license into a text version : libreoffice --convert-to "txt:Text (encoded):UTF8" LICENSE.html
