I wonder... is there anything that prevents one of us from offering the same thing on eBay, but at a near-zero price? For example, would it be within eBay policy to have an auction for "instructions for downloading OpenOffice"? Give all the same marketing plugs for features, etc., but set it as a "Buy Now" price of 1-cent or something. Some users want a CD, because of bandwidth limitations. But the cost of information, in this case, should be nearly zero. -Rob > 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/ >> >
