Recently there have been several inquiries on the OOo user's mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) from public library representatives asking about using and distributing OOo. Examples:
> I checked the FAQ but couldn't nail down my situation. We at the > public library were thinking about burning Open Office to CDs and > sharing it with about a dozen patrons in a class on great free > software. I was looking for permission to do so, as I could not find > your criteria for freely distributing the work, though it is free. > We are a small, all-volunteer library. We have 5 computers onto which > we would like to download OpenOffice. Can one organization download > more than one copy of the software such as I describe here? Of course we respond that they can copy & freely distribute, loan etc., But I recalled a marketing project for public libraries, so I went looking for it on the OOo website so that I could offer some added information/incentive for these folks. I found: http://marketing.openoffice.org/pa/ Is this project dead? It seems as if there has been no update to the page in a very long time, and the newest post in the mailing list archive is 2005. <http://marketing.openoffice.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=libraries> Is there an alternate project page for libraries? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
