be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Hi Vicky If you have a copy of OpenOffice.org on disc, then you may simply duplicate the discs and give them to your friends. There is no need to purchase more CDs, as the GNU Public license gives you the right to distribute the program. Most distributors of OpenOffice.org charge a token fee to cover their costs in purchasing, burning, packaging and mailing disks, although the program is free to download. In theory, I could ask $300.00 for the software I put on my CDs, and I may find a few who would pay it. Make no mistake, this is a high quality product, but the Open Source way of doing things is intended to significantly benefit the community of computer users. Why more Churches have not abandoned their support of Microsoft just beggars belief. Can you imagine the licence fees that a large missionary organisation pays to use MS Office, what does this say about their stewardship? And why support an abusive monopolist (convicted) with the LORDs money? With the tools that are available through Open Source software, a Church could run without Microsoft at all, and the funds could be applied to the mission field. I threw this in because of your signature text.
