This basically says that you CAN distribute software under Bittorrent.
Since Bittorrent uses nodes where the users are not aware they are
distributing GPL-LGPL software and they give the right to deny
distributing this software if you dont agree to be a distributor.

How does it sound then?
The LGPL is the licence that the program is released under.
OpenOffice.org (OO.o) is given to you as long as you adhere to your part
of the LGPL. You agree to the LGPL when you install and run OO.o.
Actually I wonder why that is an OOo requirement. LGPL makes no changes
to section 9 of the GPL (v3) that I can see, which states:
<quote>
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a
copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring
solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a
copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than
this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered
work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this
License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you
indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.

And 9 in itself is confusing to me after the "However" part... IANAL
either :-)
