Dear Open Office,
BPD Kaltim is one of Region Bank in Indonesia, our central office located at
Samarinda, East Borneo. We have tested Open Office Program as alternative
program for documents edit, as a result Open Office Program was the most
compatibilty at client or server computers. We have plan to use Open Office
Program as Program for documents editfor our client and server pc. Trough
this email we would like to ask Open Office Program permission to use Open
Office Program as default program for documents editin our company to
fulfill our IT Risk Regulation. Thank you for your consideration, we look
forward to hearing from you soon.
Regard,
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ACCOUNTING DIVISION

Your subject line is misleading, because the Firefox web browser is
developed by the Mozilla Foundation not the Apache Software Foundation.
You do NOT require any permission to use the Apache OpenOffice software.
Please see the Apache License, Version 2.0 details here:
http://www.openoffice.org/license.html and a more general overview here:
http://www.openoffice.org/why/index.html
That is certainly how it feels to users, that they don't need
permission to use OpenOffice. But a more correct way to say it is
that the Apache License gives the permission to everyone, and that no
*additional* permission is needed. Any time you copy a creative work
(beyond fair use) you need permission. But with open source
software the permission, instead of being negotiated or sold, is given
at no cost to all and described in an open source license. But it is
still permission.
The complication comes from companies performing audits of their
internal business controls, and trying to ascertain whether they are
legitimately using the software they are using. They might only be
familiar with commercial licensing terms. In those case I like to
point them to the license, since that is the statement of their
permissions.
Regards,
