Hello,
My name is James Carr and I work for Corus in Scunthorpe, I have a question
regarding the licencing of Open Office. As you are obviously aware, the
current financial climate is affecting everyone, ourselves included, and
due to these a scheme has been created to look for money saving idea's. I
personally use Open Office on my laptop which runs Ubuntu and I find it
extremely good and user friendly, therefore i was going to reccomend my
organisation move away from paying individual licences for Microsoft Office
and switch to Open Office.
My question is, is there any specific licence my company needs if my idea
is used and they do start using Open Office? or does the normal free use
apply regardless of how many computers use your software. Obviously the
software isnt going to be changed in anyway, it will be just for normal
use.
Kind regards
James
Good Question James. Ask First before you commit.
OpenOffice.org is free to everyone. That included schools, businesses,
and governments.
That is the great part of the deal. Upgrading fro version 2.x to 3.x
cost you, and your
company ZERO dollars. To upgrade from MS Office 2003 to 2007 is at
least $150
per PC. That is a lot money for businesses and everyone else that are
having a tough
time with the current financial environment.
So go ahead and take your copy of OpenOffice.org and load it into every
PC that you
want to. That is what most people I know do.
