Hi,
I work in a Chinese school as computer administrator and I want to help our
management in how to reduce the expenses in buying Microsoft Office.
I'm just curios about the license of Open Office before I go to anywhere else.
I like to ask is...
is the Open Office 100% FREE?
Please tell me more about this as freeware.
Regards,
Dion
Greetings Dion,
The short answer is yes, Open Office is 100% free in all meanings of
the word.
However strictly speaking it is not just Freeware, it is Open Source.
Open Source software is not always freeware just as Freeware is not
always Open Source.
Free as in open source means that you are Free to take the source code
and modify it. You are also free to copy it and give it away to others
or to install it on as many computers as you want. You are also Free to
sell it and distribute it so long as you make the source code available
to all.
And yes it is ideal in a school stuation.
