No problem, Jason. The OpenOffice.org Community Distributors, or anyone for that matter, are allowed to sell the software. Most merely charge a token fee to cover material costs and postage. But the program is free (as in "free beer") to download, as well as being free as in "free speech", ie free to modify or adapt under the GPL. As a Community Distributor, I can assure you that no-one is getting rich off the sale of OpenOffice.org, but the program is extending its reach to people who do not have the bandwidth to download it. All is good, relax.
