The page does actually say (near the bottom) "Please note that this software is a very good application and can be downloaded free from the internet" However it does not link to the ASF, nor does it mention Apache. Note: OOo itself is free, however Internet access is generally not free. There may be people who prefer to pay for a CD rather than download software. > Max > > > Am 12.08.2012 18:19, schrieb Kay Schenk: > >> On Sun, Aug 12, 2012 at 5:48 AM, dan roch <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> FYI >>> >>> I don't know if this goes agaist OO rules but this user on eBay is >>> selling >>> copies of OO. >>> >>> >>> ebay user: allsorts-est-2011 >>> >>> auction >>> >>> >>> >>> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Office-for-Home-and-Student-2007-2010-2012-For-Microsoft-Windows-XP-Vista-7-/110922521399?pt=UK_Computing_Software_Software_SR&hash=item19d37f5b37#ht_8329wt_1026 >>> >> This has come up before...there is no issue with selling ANY copy of >> OpenOffice (old or new) as long as the vendor complies with licensing or >> trademark requirements. >> >> This bit at the bottom -- >> >> *Items contained on this CD are under the terms of the GNU License, the >> GNU >> Lesser General Public Licences (LPGL) or the Mozilla Public Licence* >> >> well let's hope it's right. >> >> see also, our local Distribution FAQ-- >> >> http://www.openoffice.org/distribution/ >> >
