Question on Licensing
Hi,
We are planning to install Open Office for our colleagues. Do we need to buy any licenses to use open office?
I read something on the website regarding Apache 2 License. But I was wondering if the Open Office is a free to use software, what purpose an Apache 2 License solve?
Awaiting your reply.
Freundliche Grüße / Best regards,
Amit Ashok Pange

The word "license", in this context, means "permission". So a software
license describes what permissions have been given to you to use, modify,
redistribute, etc., the software. Commercial software vendors sell the
license (permission) for their software. Open source projects, like those
from the Apache Software Foundation, give the license for free. But we
still have a license which explains exactly what your permissions are.

No, just install on as many computers as you wish. Feel free to
encourage the employees to install it at home too.
