Thank you all for your responses.
I wish to apologize for my blunder of posting my question to the mailing
list. I was a bit confused about where to send my request and ended up
finding this mailing list, thinking it was a sort of "USERS" help email
address.
Thank you Dennis for pointing me in the correct direction. I have sent a
revised copy of my email to the address you provided.
Sorry for the trouble and confusion.

Jason,
This and other questions about appropriate ways to redistribute Apache
OpenOffice inside or bundled with another product should be addressed to
[email protected] for private discussion of your specific case.
While it is generally possible to do what you propose, as toki says, there are
trademark considerations that must be dealt with as part of obtaining approval
by the Apache OpenOffice project for use of AOO marks based on how the software
is incorporated and identified as a component of your delivered product.
Please submit your question to the private@ address for further discussion.
There are a few things to be clarified with you. (Note: the private@ list must
be used. Do not respond to me directly.)

Subject: Legality of use question
Hello,
I wish to ask a legal question regarding the packaging of your product
within one of our products. I am not very good with the complex legal
speak language that most licenses, copyrights, etc have and wish to get
a more direct, layman terms answer to my question.
Background:
We are currently developing a curriculum for one of our learning
products and have been using your wonderful OpenOffice suite to create
it. Unfortunately when converting to Microsoft Office formats, there are
several issues that occur. As such, it would be better for our customers
to use the same products to view / use our documentation.
My question is as follows:
Is it allowable to include the installation package of OpenOffice Suite
in our product package as a "free software" inclusion which does not
reflect or influence, directly or indirectly, the pricing of our
product?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response at your
convenience.
