As far as home use, here is the scoop from Sun: (basically some paperwork) Academic and Research institutions, including Primary and Secondary (K12) Schools, 2-and 4-year Colleges, and Universities, are eligible for a no-cost site license of StarOffice 7. This institutional license is available for the cost of media only - no other licensing fees apply. All you have to do to obtain a site license is purchase at least one media kit or download the software and click thru the license agreement on the Sun Software Download Center. The StarOffice licensing agreement (included in the media kit) gives your Educational Institution the right to make StarOffice available for internal use. This means that your enrolled students, faculty, and staff may use the software on computers that you own, operate, or maintain direct control over. To obtain permissions for your institution to replicate StarOffice and distribute it to your constituents for their personal use, you will need to be an institutional signatory and must complete a StarOffice or StarSuite Distribution Agreement with Sun by following these steps: -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of BLOOMQUIST, ANN Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 10:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [info-tech] Virus and other info Jerry, Could you send out info on where to get Star Office for the school at $25?
