That is so *un*true.

       If you were to actually go there, you would know they recommend LO -
            (in fact, that's how I learned of LO)

       If you were to actually go there, you would know they are so opposed
to the freeware/adware software
          and only recommend 'clean' software, that are made and handled by
reputable companies and/or individuals.

       They do not cater to WINdows; in fact, they often recommend others;
          (they started to get away from the MSFT built-in software)

       They are strictly volunteer based; therefore no one has undue
influence;
          check out their various blogs on whatever program/topic to see
how the various discussions flow ...
         or the various articles pertaining to any software category where
not one, but several programs are rated with pros & cons.

       They do not recommend 'freeware' or donation-ware -
           although some of the individuals making software do state they
would appreciate a donation of any amount at any time;
         you should notice, that LO also is in this category.

       I was not - nor have I, been advertising this;
           but when I think that someone would be interested in a
program(s), which I thoroughly enjoy using -
          I think they would be interested in knowing where I located
it/them.

       For example, C-Cleaner, Avast, IrfanView, VLC, ...
           are in this category - and these are all rated at the top of
their respective categories.

I'm very sorry Anne, but going there prompts me to lists of software by categories; only a fraction of these are actual Free Software (and I have to look for them).
So unless I live on a parallel internet anyone can go there and see by him/herself: it's mostly freeware and donationware. In fact you mentioned yourself the following software: C-Cleaner, Avast, IrfanView ; and then VLC. Do you make any difference between these?

Sites like Tucows, CnetDownload do offer LibreOffice download; that does not mean it's acceptable either. Again I'm sorry to nitpick: all I'm saying is that it is not good practice. I realize you may have discovered LibreOffice through that site, but it's still a download site with freeware.

Best,

Charles.

From their "About" page
«Our primary function is to help you select the best freeware product
for your particular needs.»

If you were to actually go there, you would know they are so opposed

to the freeware/adware software

I just looked at their Android recommendations, and whilst they didn't
recommend the worst offenders in the adware space, their recommendations
did include adware whose primary purpose is to infect Android devices.

Their recommendations for Windows weren't much more reassuring. (I
realize that msot Windows and Android users have a pathological
objection to running anything that might be misconstrued as safe, sound
secure software, preferring to live a world where their software and
hardware is pawned before being turned on.)

If you really want to encourage the use of a curated collection of
Windows software, then go with the _TTTCS OSSWIN DVD_
(http://www.ttcsweb.org/osswin-dvd/#cdlist). Whilst it no longer is
exclusively Free Libre Open Source Software, it is a clean,
comprehensive collection of software for the typical consumer desktop.
