Really? The license agreement says that OpenOffice software cannot be 
redistributed in any form??  And the next sentence says that you can't even 
"lend" it??
 
This seems contrary to everything that I've assumed about OpenOffice. Although 
I have to admit to not reading the license agreement (reading through license 
agreements is not something that I've made a point of doing, but maybe I should 
start).

I do not know this organization, but in the "License Agreement" you find this: 
"5. You may make copies of the Software under this Agreement for Your personal 
use only. You may not redistribute the Software in any form. You may not lend, 
lease, rent, sublicense, modify, create derivative works from, transfer, sell 
or request donations for any information, software, products or services that 
are part of the Software." It seems to me contradictory with the notion of a 
Free Open Source Software.
