Not correct. The same requirements (not "restrictions") apply to all distributors, whether they use eBay or their own website. Those requirements are primarily designed to protect the OpenOffice.org branding. > You are allowed to be > paid for providing copies to people but only to defray your costs. Not quite correct. A distributor is permitted by the license terms (LGPL) to sell and to make a profit at the distributor's discretion. We make no stipulation as to how much can be charged. Most distributors only charge a nominal fee, some do charge a small percentage above their costs. Either is OK. James, it is quite fine to distribute OO.o to all your fellow students, friends and others. You may either create your own CDs, or you can use the pre-built ISO images we supply at <http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/iso_download.html>. A link to the official OO.o website is a good idea, perhaps a link to the Documentation wiki and/or the user help forum as well. Ultimately, it's up to you what you do. > > Marty. > > -----Original Message----- > From: James Moore [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2010 12:33 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [cd-rom] Distribution in my community > > > I live in an area where there's a lot of people trying to go back to > school > and get better educations, however due to the bad economic climate it's > hard > for them to gain access to Microsoft Office for their school work.
