I cannot speak for AOO, and I am not an attorney anywhere. What I would do if I were in your position is to print out the AOO license for the version that you’re using; write a statement of your circumstances and what you’ve been asked to do; then take it to a California lawyer, and ask for a letter of opinion.
Having that letter in your file will give you some ammunition against lawsuits or other enforcement action. That’s the best you can do, since AFAIK there is NO management of AOO that can speak with executive authority with respect to the software. > On Mar 30, 2017, at 9:14 AM, Russ Hayes <r...@sp-ega.com> wrote: > > Good morning, > > > I'm writing to confirm how we can move forward with Open Office for a project > we are working on for the State of California.
