Hi Daniel,
I have very great respect with what you guys are doing. I dont want to steal anything from you. I am using a openoffice component in my java product(which is very huge) and I didnt want the user to see openoffice.org suddenly in few dialog boxes. That's why I want to show my product name instead in those places.
I feel sorry if my statements hurts ur sentiments.

Thanks,
Dinesh

I am embedding openoffice component along with my application. I want to do branding. ie.. remove openoffice.org and use my product name instead. Is this allowed as part of licensing and if so, how can I do that..


Well... it's allowed, but a lot of us really really don't like it when people do that. It's taking our hard work and passing it as your own. In addition, it hurts our brand recognition, and causes a lot of trouble in our support lists when people come complaining that "Bob Office" doesn't work and we don't know anything about Bob Office except that it's based on OOo, so even those who are still willing to help your users, can't.

Please don't rebrand OpenOffice.org. It's not nice.

Sincerely,
Daniel.
