- <h2>Concerning the legacy Distribution Project</h2>
-
- <p>The Apache OpenOffice project distributes OpenOffice online, as a free download <a href="http://download.openoffice.org">from our website</a>. Although
-this is sufficient for most users, we also known that for others users, a copy of OpenOffice on CD-ROM or other media is preferred.</p>
-
-<p>
-The legacy OpenOffice.org project had a "Distribution Project" that listed the contact information for 3rd parties who would provide, at a charge, a CD-ROM containing
-OpenOffice. We've suspended this program, until the Apache OpenOffice project determines how a similar service might be enabled in the future, one that will give
-users greater assurance that they are receiving the latest version of OpenOffice.
-</p>

-If you want to voice your opinion on the distribution project, or offer any opinions, pleae send them to our public mailing list, at ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org.

+<H2><A NAME="old_distribution_list_information"></A>
+Where is the old distribution list/information?</H2>
+<P>The Apache OpenOffice project distributes OpenOffice online, as a
+free download from our website. Although this is sufficient for most
+users, we also know that for other users, a copy of OpenOffice on
+CD-ROM or other media is preferred.</P>
+<P>The legacy OpenOffice.org project had a "Distribution
+Project" that listed the contact information for 3rd parties who
+would provide, at a charge, a CD-ROM containing OpenOffice. We've
+suspended this program. If you want to voice your opinion on
+the distribution project, or offer any opinions, please send them to
+our public mailing list, at ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org.</P>
+<H2><A NAME="OpenOfficeLicense"></A>
+What do I need to know about the OpenOffice License?</H2>
+<P>Version 3.4, named Apache OpenOffice 3.4 and distributed by the
+Apache Software Foundation, uses Apache license, <A HREF="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt">Apache
+License v2</A>. More about this license and how this license applies
+to various scenarios can be found on the <A HREF="http://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html">Apache
+License and Distribution FAQ</A> page.
+</P>
+<P>Versions 3.0, beta to 3.3, named OpenOffice.org 3.3, etc., used
+the <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html">GNU Lesser
+General Public License v3</A>, LGPL.</P>
+<P>You should comply with the terms of these licenses for any
+distribution you undertake.</P>
+<H2><A NAME="download_and_logo_use"></A>
+Can I let my clients download your software and use your logo on my
+website or other distribution media?</H2>
+<P>Please see the <A HREF="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/trademarks.html">Apache
+OpenOffice Trademarks</A> page for more information about the
+"Apache OpenOffice" and "OpenOffice.org"
+trademarks and what you need to do to use them. Also, please review
+information which applies to <A HREF="http://www.openoffice.org/marketing/art/index.html">older
+OpenOffice.org logos and icons</A> on <A HREF="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Logo/License">the
+OpenOffice wiki</A>.
+</P>
+<H2><A NAME="cd_and_dvd_distribution"></A>
+Can I Produce a CD/DVD of your software and distribute it.</H2>
+<P>Yes, this is covered under Apache License 2 for Apache OpenOffice
+3.4, and covered under the LGPL for older versions. Please see <B>I'm
+not a lawyer. What does it all MEAN?</B> section of the <A HREF="http://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html">Apache
+License FAQ page</A>. This means you can distribute unmodified
+versions of Apache OpenOffice as Apache OpenOffice, or older versions
+of OpenOffice.org as OpenOffice.org.
+</P>
+<H2><A NAME="partnership_links"></A>
+I want to link to your product/page. Will you partner with me and
+link to mine?</H2>
+<P>Due to the number of potential distributors of Apache OpenOffice,
+this is not feasible. We are hopeful that well-known search engines
+will be able to find your "packaging" or "distribution"
+with minimal effort.</P>
+<H2><A NAME="renaming_product"></A>
+Can I distribute OpenOffice on a CD, or from my website and call it
+something else?</H2>
+<P>Generally, no. If such a need arises for whatever reason, please
+contact the <A HREF="mailto:ooo-private@incubator.apache.org">Apache
+OpenOffice PPMC</A>.</P>
+<H2><A NAME="personalization"></A>
+Can I distribute OpenOffice and use my company's name with it?</H2>
+<P>If you, as company ABC, wish to distribute OpenOffice on a CD with
+a label "ABC OpenOffice", the answer is "no".
+This would be a trademark use violation. This is covered in the
+Apache License version 2 document under section <A HREF="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0">6.
+Trademarks</A> .</P>
+<P>You could use wording such as "ABC's Office Suite Powered by
+Apache OpenOffice" as an alternative. Please contact the <A HREF="mailto:ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org">Apache
+OpenOffice development list</A> with additional questions about this
+type of use.</P>
+<H2><A NAME="more_questions"></A>
+I still have questions, what should I do?</H2>
+<P>Please contact the <A HREF="mailto:ooo-private@incubator.apache.org">Apache
+OpenOffice PPMC</A>.</P>
