Hmm... sorry, where did you get this information? From: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney Q. Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money? A. Yes, the GPL allows everyone to do this. The right to sell copies is part of the definition of free software. Except in one special situation, there is no limit on what price you can charge. (The one exception is the required written offer to provide source code that must accompany binary-only release.) OpenOffice is licensed under the GNU LGPL, but I haven't found any indication that it is different from the GPL under this aspect. Actually, when the license changed the community manager said: "OpenOffice.org remains free to use, distribute, even sell" (http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS3294924491.html) HTH, Marco -- Help *everybody* love Free Standards and Software: http://digifreedom.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
