1. There is no such thing as an Open Office "Pro" version from OpenOffice. 2. It IS legal AS LONG AS the rules of the LGPL license are followed. I don't recally anything there that would allow selling it as a "Pro" if it's exactly the same thing as can be downloaded for free at oo.o. 3. If it were me, I'd contact the Seller and ask what makes it a "Pro" version and what are the differences between his product and the free product at OO.o? 4. If that wasn't satisfactory, I'd alert Ebay and include the response you got if it didn't make sense to you, and ask them what's going on. But that's just me. Lots of people are selling it for nominal fees, but this one sounds a tad different. -- -- Perfection isn't achievable, but it's sure a worthy pursuit. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
