Licensing Question

[Jose Soto <jo...@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

I sell computers online and i live Apache open office which is why i need to know how can i request a license or formal letter from Apache open office that will allow me to include this software in the computers that i sell. I am sure my customers will like having an office suite that is free rather than paying Microsoft hundreds of dollars. Please let me know who do i need to talk to in your company.

Regards,

Jose Soto
President
El Chasqui USA Company

Hello, Apache OpenOffice is not a company but a not-for-profit project, 
steered by a Project Management Committee (PMC).

The Apache license (i.e., the license of Apache OpenOffice) indeed 
already allows you to pre-install the software on any computers you 
sell, with no need for a dedicated document. See 
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html

This should definitely be enough for you, but feel free to ask if you 
need further clarifications. And thank you for promoting Apache OpenOffice.

Best regards,
   Andrea Pescetti - Apache OpenOffice PMC Chair.
