Hello, To whom can I address a few brief questions about using OO for my business? I have a ghostwriting company, and would very much like to use OO (as opposed to MS Word) to generate our works of authorship, editing, and rewriting. My questions are:
1) If I'm generating revenue from the creation of these works, am I required to disclose the works via the Project site? This could create a conflict given the confidential nature of ghostwriting (although I could easily disclose my company's name + general works descriptions that don't violate nondisclosure agreements). 2) Am I correct in understanding that the fonts available in Writer are free for my unlimited commercial use and distribution? 3) Am I correct in understanding that if I were to create works of authorship, editing, and rewriting via OO, and distribute them to clients via e-mail with .doc and .rtf extensions (unless the clients have OO), I would be free to do so minus any license whatsoever? 4) Is there anything else I'd have to know to undertake the kind of work described above? Our business creates a high volume of work product documents, so I'm eager to be sure that I know what I'm doing before making a transition. MS Word's small print is frustrating in its ambiguity and restrictions, so I'm grateful to be exploring the OO option.
