Suggestion for a FAQ, under "Free?"

If it's free, than why am I seeing it sold at http://www.example.com

So long as you follow the license (located
http://www.openoffice.org/licenses/lgpl_license.html) in full, it is
perfectly acceptable for a site to sell OpenOffice in either download
form or on hard media (DVD or CD).  
Nothing within the Lesser GPL forbids a person from selling the product
or even modifying it so long as all changes are published without
restriction on the end user.
But look at it this way:  now that you've found this site, you know that
the product is free, so you can choose whether to download it here at no
cost or at another site for a fee.  Choose wisely, young Padawan.
