Hi Jesper, Taking a look at your Roozz website, it looks like you would want to redistribute the binary packages for Apache OpenOffice, but probably not need to modify the code at the source level. If this is correct, then our open source license should give you the permissions that you need. See here: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html In particular, no additional permission is needed to copy and redistribute OpenOffice. Note however that we do have dependencies on several other 3rd party libraries. These are included in our install and they come with their own terms. Check the LICENSE and NOTICE files that come with the install for details. Some of these licenses require that you propagate copyright notices, etc., into any derived product. You also asked about the name of the product. Do you have a preference here? Something like Roozz Office Suite Powered by Apache OpenOffice is what we normally request for derived products. But we have had cases where someone wants to repackage OpenOffice, with install-level changes, but no functional changes. After clarifying things related to labeling, support, and other factors related to user expectations, we were able to give permission to use the name Apache OpenOffice. If you want to explore that possibility in more detail, let us know.

Let me try and answer your questions: Does this mean, that Apache OpenOffice needs to be installed and you use it when documents are shown/altered inside the browser?

What this means, is that the user can simply run OpenOffice exactly as when the user runs the desktop version. They can edit and have access to exactly the same functionalities but they can run it right in any browser the prefer on any Windows operating system. As far as I know, it is not be possible to provide it from our site, unless your development becomes a project in Apache. We provide the source of Apache OpenOffice and some localized, ready to use binaries. Okay - thanks for that response. If possible, we are happy to distribute it from our various sites to new and existing user - so far some 1 million users have installed the Roozz plugin. As the ODF format becomes more and more known and Google has it as file type, such application might be useful. It is the purpose of the Apache license, that you can do all such exciting things with the code. And this mailing list is indeed the place, to get help if needed. That sounds good. So the Apache license would also allow us to distribute such an in-browser version from our own site, if I understand you correctly?

OpenOffice in the browser?
