It has nothing to do with dual licensing. In fact the LGPL license does not forbid charging for the software. But it looks like this website is using the trademarked OpenOffice.org name in an unauthorized way. Oracle, as the trademark holder, may want to act against it. By the way, the language on this website is not very good Dutch. It looks like automatic translation. -- Vriendelijke groet, Simon Brouwer -*- nl.openoffice.org -*- http://www.opentaal.org -*- -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] For additional commands send email to [email protected] with Subject: help
