Which is odd as there are a list of people who can supply a cd for a
nominal charge, to cover costs, (which you re allowed to do), on the site,
paul
Even on this list we see requests for paid support and requests for
media, if someone responds with an offer to provide the requested
service the reaction from the list is usually horror that someone
might make money from this free product, but as a business owner, if
my staff are not productive because they can't figure out a new
office suite, the cost of free software can very quickly exceed that
of a commercial package. If there was no support available, what do
you think that business owner will tell his peers about OO.o at the
next Chamber of Commerce meeting? Isn't it better that the customer/
user sees as many options as possible for both distribution and support?

They're probably spending more money on listing fees than they're
actually making in profit. Therefor, this may be their way of
promoting
OOo. If so, they should have the key words "OpenOffice - an MS
Microsoft Office compatible Suite XP 2000 2003" in their title so that
people searching solely for MS Office would have this come up.
Ebay prohibits the sale of alpha, beta, pirated, and oem software
(unless you include some hardware!!). GPL (and other similar license)
selling is okay.
