- <li value ="2"><b>Does the OpenOffice.org open source license give me the right to modify and distribute any version of Oracle Open Office / StarOffice?</b><a name="2"></a>
- <p>No. The OpenOffice.org source license does not allow anyone to modify, repackage, or redistribute any version of Oracle Open Office / StarOffice, or any other commercial version of the OpenOffice.org source code without an assignment from the vendor. For Oracle Open Office / StarOffice, the vendor was Oracle (formerly Sun Microsystems). </p>
+ <li value ="2"><b>Does the Apache License 2.0 give me the right to modify and distribute any version of OpenOffice</b><a name="2"></a>
+ <p>The licence permits you to modify and distribute the version of OpenOffice that is distributed by Apache. That is the version covered by the licence. Parties distributing other products based on OpenOffice may have
+ made their own modifications which are covered by their own licence which may have additional terms and conditions.</p>

- <li value="3"><b>Can I sell and otherwise distribute OpenOffice.org? </b> <a name="3"></a>
- <p>Yes. Our license, the LGPL, allows anyone to sell and otherwise distribute OpenOffice.org binaries (executable installation sets; the application people can use), provided that the source is always made available to all, either by link (to www.openoffice.org/) or by inclusion. If you are interested in selling CDROMs of OpenOffice.org or distributing it via OEM computers, please visit the <a href="/distribution/cdrom/index.html">CDROM</a> and <a href="/distribution/oem/index.html">OEM</a> projects. </p>
+ <li value="3"><b>Can I sell and otherwise distribute OpenOffice? </b> <a name="3"></a>
+ <p>Yes. Our license, the Apache License 2.0, allows anyone to sell and otherwise distribute OpenOffice, under the <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html">conditions described in the license</a>./p>

- <li value="6"><b>Can I attach a file to an Issue?</b> <a name="6"></a>
- <p>Yes. Our current limit is 10MB (ten megabytes). Attaching a file to an issue is a two-step procedure and is not obvious. You must first submit the issue or locate the issue to which you wish to attach the file. Then, you can add the file as an attachment to that issue. <br>
- Note: You cannot add OpenOffice.org files natively. They must be added as "binary" files. This is a temporary problem.<br>
- Hints: Reduce the size of your file as much as possible. And, if you are uploading an HTML document, be sure to compress it first (Zip or tar it), otherwise it gets corrupted when others try to download it.

<p>Yes. It's really easy, especially if you follow John McCreesh's step by step illustrated guide, available either <a href="/FAQs/ms-access/ms-access.html">online</a> or in <a href="/FAQs/ms-access.pdf">pdf</a> format (325k) <br>
