Although you would be best to check with your legal beagles, normally there are no restrictions to Open Source software. You can install it on as many PC's as you want, offer it over a network, give it away, or even sell it (if you really want to).
There are no special clauses (to my knowledge) concerning educational institutions. Again I would suggest you run the license (found here : http://www.openoffice.org/license.html) past your legal people, then go ahead and install away. /paul On 2/2/07, Ian Foy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I'm the Network Services Manager of a public funded / non profit making Further Education College in England. Many of our students use Open Office at home and they would like to use it in College. I manage over 900 PCs. If I decided to make Open Office available to students, what licence would I need and what would be the cost?
