Oh, yeah. OfficeDepot is a huge chain in the U.S. I thought they
probably were elsewhere in the world, too, but apparently not. :-)
OTOH, Cosmi is listed. Checking their site, they are selling re-branded OO.o
in various incarnations. None of their products are actually branded as OO.o.
The only result I could get from searching their site for "openoffice" was an
entry in their FAQ.
so that leaves the question - de-list them, or modify the entry to indicate
that they are selling a re-branded version? (It would appear that they are
selling the latest version from their on-line store).
As for the original person's problem I suspect that the shop they went to was
selling very old stock. They should take it back and request a refund, since
that version of OO.o produced very poor HTML (and that's being polite), hence
is not suitable for the stated purpose (building websites).
If we have them listed, maybe it would be appropriate to contact them,
tell them what happened, and see if they would be willing to do
something to make things right with the customer. If they refuse or
simply don't respond, delisting might be appropriate. If a company is
using underhanded tactics, they shouldn't be promoted by the OOo
project. It taints everyone.
