Can I use screenshots from LibreOffice software in writing a book?

Does LibreOffice prohibit this ?

If anything is unclear for you in the project license, you are welcome to consult your lawyer; or mail to legal@documentfoundation.org for an official clarification. Advices of other users on a site like this are unlikely to serve as a good foundation for your decisions.

Note that the license has clause 2.1, that covers “display”.

I recomend to ask at the already given address, as there is also in 2.3:

This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks, or logos of any Contributor

So there could be legal problems when you have for example a logo of TDF in your Screenshot. Take special care, when it comes to extensions…

I would not say prohibit, but the use of graphics/photos/artwork is complicated and different in several countries. Some rights can’t be “moved”, but you can get a “allowance to use free of charge”.
