My name is Miranda Skerman and I am working on an ABC2 comedy series about
an Aboriginal radio station called "8MMM", which is being filmed in Alice
Springs.
We would love to download Open Office to use in our radio station
"offices" - just to have something happening on the computer screen in
there.
Could you please advise me if any permissions are needed to have Open
Office on display? It would mostly be incidental/background but there may
be instances where an actor interacts with the computer a little.
Short answer is "Yes you can", to all your questions. Perhaps most
significantly compared to commercially licensed products, given the stated
desire to alter it, you're free to do that as well.
Hello Miranda, thank you for considering OpenOffice... and Alan is
mostly correct.
However, situations like this one, where our products are displayed in a
TV series, often imply a discussion about trademarks. OpenOffice can
grant you a specific permission (for free). You can read more at
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/faq/ and to request a permission
you should contact the Project Management Committee at
priv...@openoffice.apache.org ; it will be enough that you forward your
original e-mail, no paperwork required.

Section 6 protects our trademarks. This is important for us in a number
of situations, especially to protect users when we detect fraudulent
activity.
Regards,
Andrea.
