Nope! It is on topic, because it relates directly to the OPs question which had to do with using multiple copies of OpenOffice.org on a school network. I for one do not understand why those of you who suggest talking to a lawyer about the license covering OpenOffice.org do that. The license is easy to read and understand because it is not written in Lawyer BS. Lawyer BS is for the purpose of hiding things that only a Lawyer understands and that is why they do that. Much like the sneaky things Microsoft does with their license and their software file formats. Open source software was written and licensed to escape all that BS. Why try to make it complicated? -- http://24.197.142.167/ See the OpenOffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
