Is this legal? Doesn't it violate OO's open source license? This same seller is selling $5.99 downloads of a Windows Mobile 6 ROM for Treo Smartphones, which is definitely NOT legal.

Selling OpenOffice.org on CD is legal. There are many Community Distributors who are only charging for the time and materials for making and shipping that CD.

Now if someone charged for the privilege to download OpenOffice.org, then that would be against the Open Source license and against the OpenOffice.org rules.
