Hi Lee, I'm a recent convert to OOo, but I can tell you that it's OK for others to charge nominal S&H fees for providing OOo to people, subject to certain things spelled out in the OOo license agreement. A lot of places sell it as you came across. The only unfortunate thing is, they don't bother to tell you it's downloadable for no charge from OO.o. Basically it's OK for them to recoup their costs in providing you with a CD and any attendant paperwork. I'm sure the PTB consider your input though, and thank you for it. If I've said anything incorrect here, rest assured I will quickly be corrected, but I don't think I have.
