A similar question came up on the list last week. My response is here: http://markmail.org/message/g6viii4ito6hhwim In summary, the open source license permits selling CD's containing exact copies of OpenOffice. Remember, open source is all about the freedoms it gives to users and to programmers. Everyone has the freedom to download OpenOffice from our website at no cost. But you also have the freedom to take the source code and enhance it and sell your enhancements. You have the freedom to sell copies of OpenOffice in conjunction with support contracts or migration services. You even have the freedom to sell on eBay. -Rob >
