If you are asking if you can take bits of OOo and modify them in the privacy of your own home and not as part of the OOo project, then the answer is, yes you can. If you mean to keep the modifications secret and unavailable to others after you publish a work containing them, the answer is, no you cannot. But you really need to read the full licence:- http://www.openoffice.org/licenses/lgpl_license.html To get both the detail and rationale behind this licence. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
