I don't think Twayne was implying any legal obligation, more a moral one. "is not intended" does not mean the same as "is forbidden to be". If I write some free software and give it away, I am not intending that people should sell it and not offer any added value for the sale. That doesn't mean it's forbidden, just that it isn't what I'd ideally like. It looks like quite a few people are posting on this list having purchased OOo and are getting nothing of additional value for the money that they have shelled out. Sorry, folks, looks like someone ripped you off by selling you something that should be free. Please don't take it out on us, we're just a user group. We'll help you - for free - just as much as we'd help anyone that downloaded it and paid nothing.
