The Federal Circuit Court ruling from SCO v the world was that when something is sold, all intellectual property rights are inherently included within the sale, even if not specifically demarcated as such. As such, since one probably did not have the legal right to sell the intellectual property rights of Apache OpenOffice, then selling the product might be an act of fraud. As such, it is some extremely shaky case law, and _not_ the license that prohibits one from selling the software. In the rest of the country, and in places where things have to be explicitly demarcated, when being sold, there are neither legal nor licensing hindrances, in selling the software. Your reputation might suffer, in selling a product that can be obtained gratis, but that is a different issue. >and you cannot alter the program in any way. That is flat out false. One can modify the program. The license does have a couple of requirements that are trivial to meet, if the altered program is further distributed. I am not a lawyer.
