You can download and use OOo (openOffice.org) for any legal purpose, on as many computers as you wish. You are actively encouraged to make as many copies as you can and distribute them to friends, family, colleges, students or anyone who wants a copy. > 3. Is it legal if I keep a copy of Open Office as back up ? See answer to 2 above. > 4. Which version is free ? All versions are free and always will be. There is a commercial version, based on OOo code, available from Sun Microsystems distributed under the Star Office name. > Please advise > > Thank You. > > Sincerely Yours. For more information about the OOo licence here: http://www.openoffice.org/license.html and confirmation of the above from the OOo website here: http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s02.html#FREE Hope this helps.
