It seems that you don't need an explicit permission for the use of 
OpenOffice you would like to make: Apache OpenOffice is free software, 
distributed under the Apache License, version 2.


This very liberal license allows free redistribution in binary or source 
form. You can find a FAQ at 
http://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html and the full license 
text at http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt


I believe you will conclude that the license terms are enough and that 
you don't need an explicit permission beyond it. But if you have doubts 
feel free to contact us again. Use the dev list (I'm moving other lists 
to BCC to avoid useless traffic) or contact the OpenOffice PMC directly 
as instructed on this page: http://openoffice.apache.org/trademarks.html


Regards,
  Andrea Pescetti - Apache OpenOffice PMC member.
