I was charged for my version of open office by a website called Opal Office.
Since the product is your's and you offer it for free, this seems like a legal
problem. How can they take a product that isn't their's and charge people for
it? I spent $30 thinking that was a great deal. I'm kind of annoyed. Is this
normal? I did a search for your product, just like I did the first time, and
several websites popped up asking for money to buy openoffice. Do I have legal
president to ask for my money back? Just wondering if this bothers Sun Systems
as much as it bothers me. Thank you for your time and consideration.
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:
http://www.openoffice.org/about_us/OEM_and_CD.html
BTW, we're not Sun. We're a group of OpenOffice users, who volunteer
our time to help others. If you want a refund, you'll have to contact
Opal. The best any of us can do about this situation is alway mention
OpenOffice is always available for free from www.openoffice.org.
