OpenOffice is open source software. So the license is free-of-charge and does not require any additional contract or permission from us. If the organization is using OpenOffice.org 3.3.0, then the license is the LGPL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html And if they are using the new Apache OpenOffice 3.4 (which I would recommend) then the license is the Apache 2.0 license: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html > Is there an guide level of donation per license? The Apache Software Foundation is a non-profit corporation with the charter of publishing free software for the public. We do not ask for or expect per-license donations. All of our work is done by a community of volunteers, who do the coding, testing, documentation, translations, website, marketing, etc. We need volunteers more than money. Of course we do welcome donations as well, and information on this can be found here: http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html > Also Is there a possible tie in with my business as I plug your > product as a viable alternative to MOS, such as using your logo on my > website if my content meets your standards > Our trademark policy is here: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/trademarks.html Whether or not the logo could be used would depend on the overall context of use. If you have a specific proposal we can discuss more. > Many Thanks for your time > A pleasure to help.
