Apache Open Office is distributed under the Apache License 2.0.
LibreOffice is distributed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

Both licenses (ALv2, MPL 2.0) are considered to be Free, Libre, Open
Source Licenses. Neither license prohibits commercial distribution by
third parties.

Consequently, there are organizations that:
* sell CDs/DVDs through retail outlets in both meatspace and cyberspace;
* charge for downloading the program from either their website, or from
SourceForge, or from the LibreOffice Website, or from the Apache Open
Office Website;
* charge a per seat license fee, ostensibly for support services;

How much you pay has no bearing on the amount, or type of support you
receive:
* I've seen CD vendors charge $0.99 which includes one hour of telephone
support;
* I've seen CD vendors charge $500.00 and provide no support at all;
