Hia Imperial Majesty: Sorry, but it is LEGAL to sell OpenOffice.org for as high a price as you can get under the terms of the LGPL. However, such is NOT true if you state that it is StarOffice, which is a product of Sun Microsystems.
So, if they are selling it for $50 per copy, you have the option of buying it from them, or downloading it for free. If I had a slow Internet copy and they were providing support, it might be a bargain.
