First off I have been using Open Office for at least a year or two. I really
like it. It's a free suite of tools that rivals any commercial platform out
there!
I am involved in volunteering at a non-profit animal shelter. I'm looking at
writing some databases and other stuff that will be used by the animal shelter.
Free is good, and the tons of support by the users and developers of Open
Office are a great benefit.
I was wondering if I developed something if I could ask for a donation to the
shelter I work at (example might be a little database app to track a dog or
cat's vet visits (only example I can think of right off the top of my head)). I
don't want to be stepping on the concept of the open software license.
I don't personally want a penny from the projects. Like I said it would be for
the benefit of a registered not for profit organization. Also it would help
promote Open Office.....Or could there be a work around for the charging money
for an Open Office Application? Trade a bag of Dog Chow for an app?
