Hello.
I've encoutered strange problem. On one of the CDs of my friend I've
found the program
OpenOffice.org 2.0.2
I've no idea where it is from I guess it is from internet. My friend
doesn't know too. So I wanted to ask you is it legal to install and
use it or I have to buy it or registrate or something else. I respect
rights of authors and don't want to break any law. So help me to
clarify this situation.
Yes. You can use it legally, and copy it and give it to others -
provided it is really OpenOffice.org. Go to http://www.openoffice.org to
download the latest if you wish. It's free.
When you run it for the first time it will give you the option to
register your copy, or not. Registering does not sign you up for
unwanted correspondence and does not cost anything.
While not wishing to be alarmist, people should be careful when
accepting copies of OpenOffice.org, and try to ensure that it is a
genuine copy. Although I've never seen any evidence, it is possible in
theory that a "Trojan" copy could be used for identity theft, contain
spyware, etc. Copies downloaded from www.OpenOffice.org and from other
trusted distributors can be verified as genuine.
Thank you in advance.
Respectfully,
Andrey Anokhin
