Yes.
It is also legal not to buy oo.o.

OTOH the advertisement claims:
"OPEN OFFICE FOR MICROSOFT WORD EXCEL ACCESS 2003/2000"
and
"It look almost perfectly identical to Microsoft Office XP equivalents,
in fact were it not for the missing Microsoft logo you would know you
weren´t using Microsoft software!"
Both of which are misleading at best, wrong at worst (is the English
intentionally poor?)
It will do OOo no favours if people find that what they've bought is
not what was expected on the basis of some shyster's description.
But I like the bit at the end about "I am an authorized community
distributor of this product." Aren't we all?? :-) :-)
Well, actually, no. Authorized Community Distributors are those who
follow the rules set for the purpose (following a few lists and
registering with the project leads being a couple I recall).
Anyone can sell it, and anyone can get authorized to do so, but not
everyone has. ;-)
