You'll have to ask Wal-Mart that, though I imagine that since they're in
the business of selling stuff, they have to charge something that covers
whatever their costs are, plus some profit..  OpenOffice is a free
download from www.openoffice.org.  However, there are many vendors, such
as Wal-Mart in your case, who sell OpenOffice on CD's and provide a
service for those who cannot download it.  There are also some who
charge only for providing a download link and I do not think much of
them.  There is a list of CD vendors on the OpenOffice site, so it's
quite legal to sell it.

BTW, what version is Wal-Mart selling?  The latest is 2.2.1.
