I agree totally with Adam. This is the consequence of the license.
From the license:
"When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if
you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in
new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things."
In general I don't mind if people earn money from free software. It
gives opportunities to people who would not have these if there were no
GPL.That is the freedom of it and I think it is also the purpose.

What's wrong with it. Other than having a website name that is close to
ours they do what any other value add vendor does. They offer 2 months
support. They could provide a linkback to the openoffice.org site, but
other than that I see nothing wrong with what they are doing.
