I wasn't sure if you are aware but I found this site on the net:

They are selling your product for $27.
Thanks,

Judith,
Thanks for you interest but there is nothing illegal about selling
OpenOffice.org. There are a couple of things that you should be doing but that
is for a legal team to look at, so will forward to let someone handle.
Thanks
Andy
Andy and the others are correct. However, sometimes, there are illegal things that companies do, whether knowingly or not. These include using (abusing) our trademark to sell their wares. Then there are the unscrupulous. These include, to my mind, those who offer "free" downloads of OOo (yep) and then [!!] charge a subscription fee.
In general, when there are bad actors afoot, I write a polite letter asking
them to mend their ways and join us in promoting not destroying the community.
If they balk, refuse to change, I ask for legal help. By this point, they
usually change or disappear.
I had a look at the site in question and sent an email suggesting a
couple of things. I received a "Thank you" reply but they have not made
any changes yet.
Maybe a look be someone in legal would help.
Andy
