In either case it is perfectly legal, see the OOo licence: http://about.openoffice.org/index.html#licenses and FAQ about this: http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/mostfaqs.html#3 There is even a list of distributors on the OOo website: http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/index.html A price of around US$10.00 would seem to be the norm, so $11.95 does not appear to be excessive.
