I am aware that PC-BSD has been indeed providing
build resources to our LibreOffice maintainer so
you cant really blame them.

I personally enjoy working on Apache OpenOffice's
FreeBSD port and I am glad about having both suites
available, but eevn though they are very similar I
am not interested in maintaining LibreOffice; not
even if I got paid to do it.

What people should realize is that maintaining
such big packages is difficult and the issue
is ultimately not money: if there is no interest
from developers and porters to spend (a lot of)
time on it no one will do it.
