Hello,
The Apache Software License itself is quite permissive. You can review this at [1]. The Product depends on Libraries with other Licenses, but I think for what you want this does not play any role. You have to take care about trademarks a bit. The Software is called Apache OpenOffice not Apache Open Office. There is also no professional or other Qualifier in the product name, something a lot of people seem love to add. Project Trademark policies you find at [2]. Describing you in what way you are allowed to use the Trademarks. I recommend also to consider [3], I am not sure if this applies. If you sell a document in the OpenDocument Format there are multiple applications that can work with this format. You do not depend on the Projects agreement. Please also note that the project is a community project with only volunteers. This means while there is support and development it is all based around volunteers, and the project as its base does not have any SLAs. If your customer requests professional support, you have to organize it for them. There is a page that can help you with that. I am sure there are partners, too. I am a bit unexperienced with this field. This answer expresses my personal opinion and is not an answer from the Project Management Committee. ([3] will provide Information how to contact.)
