So, what is your point?

Below is a copy of the license that OpenOffice is 
distributed under. In the third paragraph below they cover 
the sale issue.

...Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away 
your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU 
General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your 
freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the 
software is free for all its users. 

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to 
some specially designated software packages--typically 
libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other 
authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we 
suggest you first think carefully about whether this 
license or the ordinary General Public License is the 
better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the 
explanations below. 

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom 
of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed 
to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies 
of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); 
that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; 
that you can change the software and use pieces of it in 
new free programs; and that you are informed that you can 
do these things....


Some where on your computer is a copy of the complete 
document. It can also be found here:

Any who has a problem with the sale of Open Source Software 
(OSS) distributed under the protection of the GNU GPL or 
LGPL does not under stand the purpose for the license.
