Programming Open Office
Dear Sir or Madam,
If anyone who knows programming, can modify and change Open Office, how do you maintain control & quality? Or are they only aloud to modify or change a copy of their Open Office that they downloaded?
Thank You,
Adrian

Hmm, I guess it has been a long day.
Read:
"... in the same manner as the OpenOffice software that people obtain to use directly."
Read:
"Distributing a modified version of the software must not be done in a manner that infringes those trademarks.

All of the source code used in making an Apache OpenOffice distribution is available free to the public, in the same manner as the OpenOffice software the people directly.
The code can be downloaded, modified (or not) and used to build the programs. The use of that code is governed by the Apache License Version 2.0, and some parts of the code may be subject to other licenses. So long as those licenses are honored, there is no limitation on what can be done with the code.
The Apache Software Foundation also claims trademark over the name Apache OpenOffice, OpenOffice.org, and many of the other marks, including icons and other symbols associated with the Apache OpenOffice product. Distributing a modified version of the software must not be done in a manner that does not infringes those trademarks.
Those who want to use the Apache trademarks in conjunction with a version of their own product can make application to the Apache OpenOffice Project Management Committee. See <http://openoffice.apache.org/trademarks.html>.
