It is entirely legal to sell OpenOffice.  Many vendors sell a CD for a
nominal amount and provide a valuable service for those who cannot
download OpenOffice.  Others charge more and may offer other benefits. 
There are some, who charge for a download link and who should be
avoided, as they are providing no value over what's available for free
from www.openoffice.org.
OpenOffice is available as a free download from www.openoffice.org and
may be distributed to others.  If someone is distributing OpenOffice,
they are supposed to advise users that OpenOffice binaries and source
are available from www.openoffice.org, as per the instructions on:
