I apologize if this is not to the correct area. I just wanted to
let you know that there are several people profiting from
OpenOffice on Ebay. They are simply selling people a link to your
address. Just do a search on Open Office in ebay and you'll find
it fast.
This might be regarded as unethical but, under the terms of the
licence, it is perfectly legal. Some people add functionality and/or
extras such as templates or macros. Others add bugs too ;-)
The impression I got from the OP's message is that they're simply
selling the link to OO.org.
That's just mor unethical but still (IMHO) not illegal. If people are
stupid enough to pay for a link ...
I know it might reflect on Sun and the OpenOffice folk and on Open
Source generally but I stll can't see what makes it illegal.
