Software being sold on Amazon.com and Vipon.com
Hi,
I'm not sure if your aware or if it's legal, but I found your software
being sold on Vipon.com and Amazon.com. I just wanted to pass this
information along just in case, I would hate to see people paying for
something that is freely available.

Yes it is legal to sell copies of the software, see the Apache 2.0 licence:

However, the use of the OpenOffice trademark might be questionable in
this instance, see the Apache trademarks policy:

Well, back when I could not afford high speed internet (dialup was allI
could afford),
I found it easier to buy the DVD of the free software online.
The sad part of that I was stung by embedded malware that got installed
by the installation script. But most of the time, things were clean for
most of the online DVD's I purchased.
Getting rid pf the malware was a lot more difficult as it was not recognozed
as such by most AV scanners.
So, I had to reformat the drive and reinstall the OS and all the
packages from their original CD's and DVD's.
